I saw it a while back also. Saddening I thought to think of what could have been.

I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that someone involved in the project didn't like the idea of everyone's hard work getting scrapped.
I would bet there's one real, live, working Avro Arrow sitting in someone's barn or private display right now.

when i went to the Toronto air Museum, i saw the parts that were left from the takin apart of them. kind of sad to see, that was the best fighter jet of its time. and politics got in the way of it, wonder if the USA didnt want to be out done by canadians... When they were around my dad was in teh airforce, so he told me a few things of the arrow, and some things that i didnt even know when the movie came out. i think there is a old documentary on the Avro, but i havent seen it in a long time tho

I have watched it a couple of times -- you have to love the US -- they still make the rules (NAFTA) -- when are we finally going to learn ? It's their ball and they are taking it home with them.
