This was the final Sabre built by Canadair at Montreal before it ceased production. During its service with the Pakistan Air Force it achieved 6 kills during conflicts with India. Donated to the museum in 1996 and delivered inside a CAF Lockheed C-130. It was previously displayed with PAF markings. The museum was renamed the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada 19 December 2014 and closed its doors 22 October 2018. The historic TCA hangar and original terminal building were sadly demolished to make way for a new maintenance facility. The construction of a new museum building commenced 1 May 2020.
