I remember Strawberry Bitch having a pinup girl for nose art many years ago. Shame they changed it.

More great pics, FJ!

I wish somebody would make one of those CF-100's flyable again.
There hasn't been one flyable since about '81. I doubt anyone in Canada will do it anytime soon.

It's in the other side.....

Ah there she is. I thought that she was on both sides, but is has been almost 25 years since I was last there.

I'm a little late to this discussion. Was doing some research on the "Strawberry Bitch" B-24 and found this discussion with a couple pics of the aircraft in the Museum. In my research I found four wartime photos of the left side of the "Bitch" and there never was a female figure on that side. Two of the photos can be found on the Museum's web site.
