Can anyone remember a Texas ANG F101 coming to London Ontario in June of 1982? It sat at the airport for a year before being dismantled byt Bell aerospace and roaded up to Grand Bend airport for some testing work. I was wondering what ever happened to it after the testing was over? I have attached a pic of the old London Free Press article about it in June 1983.
As a side note to this, I remember 1983 as being the last time the CF101s participated at London International airshow. Just prior to their display, one of the Cf101s went mechanical and a quick trip over the Texas ANG bird soon had the spare parts that were needed! 😮

Not on this case, sorry.
In April 1984 My USMC A-6E squadron (VMV[AW]-242) deployed from MCAS El Toro (southern California) to MCAS Iwakuni Japan. On the way over, the chartered Arrow Airlines DC-8 we maintenence personnel were in ran low on fuel on the El Toro-Anchorage Alaska leg due to heavy headwinds. We landed at a CAF airbase in BC to refuel, and I had a great view out of my window of a line of CF-101s.
