Photo Comment

The first of 200 CF-104 Starfighter supersonic strike-reconnaissance aircraft for the RCAF was rolled out on schedule March 27, 1961, at Canadair Limited. The first production model, and the second aircraft which will be completed in May, will be transferred to Burbank, California, for checking and flight-testing by Lockheed Aircraft Corp., the plane's designers. The third and all subsequent aircraft are to be test-flown at Canadair, starting in June, and first deliveries to the RCAF are due in the Fall. DND photo.
