To bad - first fly by wire etc. next Fighter to have this capability was the F-14 Tomcat .

I put some tires on the CF-105 that was under restoration a few years ago, hope it got into the museum in Ottawa.

The early 60's were about crew cuts, penny loafers, chino pants, white socks, going to church every Sunday, 4 channels on the TV, no cell phones/computers.video games, family dinners every night.

It is really striking how different things are today, and not always for the better.
