RCAF Formation team Bald Eagles

Post by the_swede »

Reaching out to the internet for a little help with a few photos.
I know the date is between 1959-1960, and that the formation team is the Bald Eagles.
What I am trying to find, if at all possible, is the crew names. I'm hoping someone out there has some information to shine a light on this for me.
Thanks
Swede

Swede:

Do you have access to Dan Dempsey's excellent book on Canadian aerobatic teams: "A Tradition of Excellence"? Pages 229-232 (another aircraft picture on page 342)

If not, contact me at jonnimart@gmail.com

A good read indeed...

"NORAD and the Soviet Nuclear Threat" by Gordon A.A Wilson although I don't remember any writings about this demo team.

G'day

The following Avro CF-100 Canuck Mk. 4A's from No. 3 All Weather Fighter Operational Training Unit at R.C.A.F. Station Cold Lake, Alberta were used to by the Bald Eagles during the one year they operated. The team operated four aircraft at a time. I have listed them by serial numbers and codes.
