It was designed to defend against potential threats during the Cold War and was notable for its all-weather capabilities. The aircraft featured a distinctive design with a high-mounted wing and was equipped with advanced radar systems for its time. The CF-100 entered service with the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1953 and remained operational until the late 1980s. It was the first Canadian-designed jet fighter to be produced in significant numbers, with over 700 units built. The Canuck played a crucial role in Canada's air defense strategy during its operational years.
