At Mail Call, Scott Kerry was heard saying to Jim Sanders
SK> The CAF retired theirs in 1983.  409 Nighthawk Sqn. based in Comox,
SK> B.C. was one of the last units to operate them.  They used to open the
SK> Abbotsford airshow every year at noon.  One year a Voodoo exploded when
SK> it pulled up in full afterburner after its final fly-past (apparently
SK> one of the fuel  lines to the afterburner failed).  Both crew ejected
SK> safely.  One spectator remarked "that was interesting, but isn't that a
SK> little expensive?"
