Photo Comment

Built as a Mk 5, this CF-100 was converted to a Mk 5C ECM trainer in 1964. Later converted to Mk 5D with full ECM equipment, it served with 414 (EW) Squadron until retirement. Painted to honor the Mk 4s with 1 Air Division in Europe during the late '50s, the aircraft is pictured at Abbotsford during the type's retirement tour. It was later placed on display at Air Force Heritage Park of 17 Wing at Winnipeg, MB.
