Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow
Iroquois Engine.
Malton, Victory Aircraft.
So, yeah, we could do it all over again.
Might have to, because of that imbecile, you know, you know, the chronic liar, plagiarist, and a demented drooler.

I don't know whether to feel proud... or cry... whenever I read/watch something about the Avro Arrow.

The Arrow is one of aviation’s best known ‘what if’ aircraft.



Quoted from the linked article.

Nothing wrong with being proud of past accomplishments. The "Arrow" had great potential (We think).

But, that was back in the 50s and doesn't represent squat about pulling your weight now with today's challenges. Just say'n.

I'm expecting that Patrick will "fold" as soon as the first Russian T-90 reaches his neighborhood.

Wouldah, couldah, shouldah.
Why, if it wasn't for the deceptive advice the Chief had whispered in his ear, we would still be selling Avro Arrows all across the world.
Those sneaky Russian bastages.
They were commies then, like the Chinese are today, still.

Yep, gonna have to get all nasty, all over again.
Say, nuke'em if they invade Taiwan, for openers.
Yep, that would get the attention of the survivors in Bejing.
1.2 Billion pla surrender their weapons, because star war lasers zap'em from space.
Bzzzt.. ffftt !

In the future, they keep trying.
