A beautiful Canadair CF-104 Starfighter in a special paint scheme. Canadair built 138 of these Mach 2.2 aircraft including the 2 seat D models for the RCAF where they flew for 25 years. They were powered by one Orenda Canada built GE J-79 with 15,800 lbs of thrust in after burner. No matter what they are doing these girls always look like they are going fast!

At one point they called them "the widow maker" mostly because of the low level bombing
mission they were assigned. Great performance but slim safety margins.
