[edit] Armament

Please stop adding the machine guns. The specifications are for Mk.5 which did not have this armament. Differences between variants should be delineated in the "Variants" section or on a separate "Variants" page if warranted by space.

From MoS Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft/page content

Note that these specifications should relate to a specific variant of the aircraft, and be labelled accordingly. Usually this will be the most famous/noteworthy/numerous one.

I'm really sorry, that is my own stupid fault, I didn't notice that the specifications were for the Mk.5 specifically. My Bad!! mhunter 21:52, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] At variants

I added this:

"projected swept-wing CF-103 evidently never passed the artist's concept stage."

based on a book I've read on the CF-100. There's a diagram or picture of a Canuck fuselage with wide-chord swept wings, captioned CF-103. As far as I know, she never got off that paper. If anybody knows more, please include it!

Also, I've seen references to "Velvet Glove" missile trials. Am I right those were for Sparrow? Trekphiler 10:13 & 10:15, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

The CF-103 progressed to wooden mockup stage before being cancelled. The Velvet Glove was a Canadair project that was cancelled before it was to be considered as armament for the CF-105. The Velvet Glove test flight aircraft included the CF-100 and Canadair Sabre. I'll write more when I get a chance. Bzuk 11:42, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
