Photo Comment
Due to budget constraints, only two of three planned Squadrons initially flew the CF-5s and this one was delivered straight to storage April 7, 1970. Pictured with 434 Squadron and a toned down fin participating in Maple Flag exercises. The fighter was withdrawn March 24, 1992 and gradually disassembled for spares.
