Waterloo Warbird’s Silver Star was built in 1957 by Canadair and entered RCAF service with tail number 133577. She served with 414 Squadron, based on Vancouver Island at CFB Comox in British Columbia and later with 417 Squadron, based at Cold Lake, Alta. Our aircraft was used for training, electronic warfare and target towing roles while in RCAF service. As with all other RCAF T-Birds, our plane received an extensive avionics upgrade and overhaul performed by Kelowna Flightcraft in 1996 (known as the AUP upgrade). She was placed into flyable preservation in 2002 and sold off in 2003 to Red Star Aviation, based in the U.S. She was then acquired in 2007 by an ownership group that eventually became Waterloo Warbirds. Her unique “Mako Shark” paint scheme is based on a similar commemorative livery that flew for one season in 1992 with VU32 Squadron, based at CFB Shearwater in Nova Scotia. The Mako Shark is very popular wherever she flies! From Waterloo Warbirds Website
