In and out of storage at various times after taken on strength January 6, 1971, this Freedom Fighter was withdrawn when the type was retired in 1997 and placed in the Cold Lake Air Force Museum by 2002. The Museum is part of the Cold Lake Museums complex that also include the Heritage, Oil & Gas and Indigenous museums. Mixed colors in the photo are due to the recon nose and tanks from the newer CF-5 grey scheme being introduced at the time.
