CF-101 Voodoo[edit]

This is a self-nomination (my first). I think this article is a valuable addition to the store of information about the post-Second World War history of the Canadian Air Force. Comments and suggestions for further improvement would be most welcome.

Comment--I'd love to support, but all the images are under crown copyright, which doesn't allow commercial use and is therefore incompatible with the GFDL. If the planes themselves were run jointly with the U.S. govt., as per the article, would it be possible to get some public domain photos? Or perhaps an enterprising Wikipedian could get a photo of one of them in a museum? Meelar (talk) 21:06, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

If you take a look at the F-101 page you will see that all the images are CF-101s. The USAF hasn't been very forth coming releasing more then a handful of their older photos in high quality, and IMO, a featured article deserves more then a static photo from a museum. In particular when dealing with UK and Canadian military subjects finding a free photo will be kind of hard since they do no release into the Public Domain like the US Government does. Overall the article looks good I am going to read it over, a check it against Jane's for basic details tonight. PPGMD 19:42, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I think the lead would not be complete without briefly mentioning the information in "Squadron operations" and whether they saw combat. 119 19:59, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've made an adjustment to the lead, and to the squadron operations section that should address this. --Voodude 13:29, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
