Yes Tim, the original was a bit to clinical :icon_lol:
The 440 Sqn will get the same treatment.......

Cheers,
Hank
 
Love the "weathering" and also your other repaints and updates you've given us, but "666".... I'm funny that way....I do not mean to offend or criticize. Prolly a real squadron.

Not quite.

666 was not a squadron number. That'd be the "last three" of the aircraft serial number. For what it's worth, there was a CF-104D in service with last three 666:

104666</SPAN>
Lockheed</SPAN>
Lockheed, Palmdale</SPAN>
CF-104</SPAN>
CF-104D Mk. 2</SPAN>
Starfighter</SPAN>

Model 583-04-15</SPAN>
583A-5336</SPAN>



first date: </SPAN>28 July 1970</SPAN> - </SPAN>renumbered from RCAF 12666</SPAN>

Not popular with maintenance crews, known as "Triple Pig" and "the Jet from Hell". Destroyed in takeoff abort on 5 March 1975, at CFB Baden-Sollingen, Germany. With No. 441 Squadron, 1 Canadian Air Division in Europe at that time. Was number four in a flight to Suippes Range in France. Main tire blew at 190 knots, aircraft reached 215 knots on the ground before abort was started. Aircraft missed barrier, and shed pylon tanks and fuel starting a fire. Both crew exited aircraft after it came to a stop, without injuries. Canopy did not jettison properly, subsequent investigations by AETE led to canopy modifications on all duals.</SPAN>

last date: </SPAN>17 June 1979</SPAN> - Struck off</SPAN></SPAN>
