Weapons?
I am going to dig out the book: There never was an Arrow.
Highly recommended.
Also getting the Arrow Scrapbook.
Can anyone remember if the Arrow had machine guns?
That was the big problem with the initial Phantom , no bullets. just missiles in Nam, not so great against the MIG in dogfights.
Anyway, if the Sparrow was not ready I am sure the good people at Avro had plan B with other missiles for the Great shiny jet.
That bomb bay could facilitate a huge load, never mind wing mounted stuff.
It was a great platform and had huge potential.
Hope they recover and display the test scale models so the young Canadians can realize what Canada had , and still have.
Remember Bombardier has a great potential in the civilian sector.
There is a reason Boeing is aggressive .
Do not let history repeat itself , hedge around them.
Do not let local politics sink another great Canadian product.
Off flying the old 737.
