The Canada Avro Arrow 2, The Only Jet Capable of Rivaling The Russian MiG-25 Foxbat

The Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow II, a super sonic interceptor developed in the 1959s, remains one of the most celebrated and mourned chapters in Canadian aviation history. Designed by Avro Canada to meet the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) need for a high-performance aircraft to counter Soviet bomber threats during the cold war, the Arrow was a technological marvel that promised to place canada at the forefront of aerospace innovation. Tragically, the program was cancelled, cost overrun and political pressures led Prime Minister John Diefenbaker to cancel the program on February 20, 1959, known as "Black Friday", with all aircraft and blueprints destroyed, devastating Canada's aerospace industry. The Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow II was more than an aircraft. It was a symbol of Canada's ambition and ingenuity. Its advanced specifications, innovative design, and tailored weaponry made it a formidable interceptor, perfectly suited to Canada's vast geography's and cold war role. The Arrow was Canada's chance to soar among the world's aerospace elite, and its loss remains a haunting reminder of what might have been.
