Wurtsmith AFB, 1966

Good day all, I wish to make a correction regarding my previous comment the other day regarding 425 Sqn. The bird seen in the squadron logo was not a Swift, it was a Skylark.
The anniversary Voodoo was named "Lark One". There were various nick names as well. (not everyone was in favor of the Lark One paint scheme). However, it was what it was and is part of 425 Sqn. history. Cheers, Andy

Just some further info regarding the offer of a McDonnell Douglas CF-101B Voodoo ejection seat for sale from Alberta Canada. A little history about this seat, it was removed from tail SN: 101014 (014) was one of 3 Anniversary Voodoos in the RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force) before they were retired.
This aircraft was specially painted in the colors of Red Yellow and Blue. This aircraft flew with 425 Sqn. called the Allouettes in Bagotville Quebec. The bird on the Sqn. logo is called the "Swift" this was painted down the side of the aircraft. The ejection seat is the weapon's officer seat from the back seat. The serial number "014" is stenciled on the seat back. This aircraft still exists, and is located in a compound with 3 other retired Voodoos at CFB. Bagotville airforce base to date. I heard the museum there plan on restoring aircraft 014 in the near future.
So if you wish to own a piece of this aircraft history, let me know thanks.

Hello everyone, I have a complete Weber Ejection seat for sale.
I live in Alberta Canada. The seat is very complete, and includes the (inert) rocket cylinder on the back of the seat.
The seat pack is there, as well as new shoulder harness group, and correct special release lap belt block buckle assembly. I will be listing it on E-Bay soon or will consider serious queries. You won't be disappointed!!! Took me 3 years to complete. I also have a few more interesting pieces left as well, including the complete "Flight Command"
HUD unit w/retractable sight glass and projector, as well as the complete intercept light assembly set, also available is the front armored windscreen glass, and anti-collision light. Shipping is extra. I prefer to sell the ejection seat locally. But if you pay for the crating and shipping, I can arrange a sale. Thanks for looking, please e-mail all queries to Andy at aerojet57@hotmail.com thanks.

Our numbers are thinning out but not quite ready to check out yet.
