But in 1956, this Canadair Sabre flew with the RCAF in Europe for six years and then with the "Golden Hawks" aerobatic team for the 1963 airshow season, so unlike other examples, the colour scheme is genuine. The National Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa acquired it in 1964 and was modified with clear panels down the left side of the fuselage to show its interior construction.
