While it would have been a shining jewel of Canadian engineering, I doubt by today it would have made much of a difference. With the way the government has been running the military into the ground over the past 10 years, most of the planes would have ended up in a museum anyway.

Actually they wouldnt. Due to the superiority of the plane, they would have been the core of several air forces.. The french, the british, and several others were interested in the Arrow. The Americans may not have been jealous of us, but they did fear that they wouldnt have control over the top long range supersonic tactical fighter and who it was sold to
