In 1984, when the CF-101B was retiring from the Canadian Air Force, each Voodoo squadron would have one aircraft painted in a special retirement/RCAF 60th Anniversary color scheme. 409 Squadron resurrected the very popular Hawk One colors for theirs. Originally USAF 57-429, 101057 was taken on strength in 1971 as Canada traded 56 older CF-101s for 66 new(er) ones. Retired July 12,1984, Hawk One became a gate guardian at CFB Comox.
