This fourth Canadair built Starfighter was the second with it's initial flight at the factory in Montreal on August 14, 1961. Damaged on delivery to Cold Lake in January 1962, the aircraft was inserted back in the production line for repairs. Serving with Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment and No. 448 (Test) Squadron at RCAF Station Cold Lake, AB, it was retired as an instructional airframe at CFB Suffield, AB serialed 820C. Moved from storage at CFB Bagotville, QC to Montreal Aviation Museum on November 10, 2020 where it is now being restored.
