When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen. -- George Washington |
The Canadian system uses a prefix C (possibly to avoid confusion with American codes) and a function letter, followed by a number. The number is unique, and applied to single aircraft type. The function letter may change if an aircraft is modified, e.g. the CE-144 is an electronic warfare version of the CC-144.
The following list gives the basic designations: CF-100 Avro Canada CF-100 CF-101 McDonnell F-101 Voodoo CF-104 Lockheed F-104 Starfighter CF-105 Avro CF-105 Arrow CC-106 Yukon Canadair CL-44 CP-107 Canadair CL-28 Argus CC-109 Metroopolitan Convair 440 CC-109 Cosmopolitan Canadair CL-66 CSR-110 Grumman SA-16B Albatross CH-112 Nomad Hiller OH-23G CH-113 Labrador Boeing CH-46 Sea Knight CT-114 Tutor Canadair Tutor CC-115 Buffalo De Havilland Canada DHC-5 CF-116 Northrop F-5A Freedom Fighter CH-118 Iroquois Bell UH-1 CH-124 Sea King Sikorsky SH-3 CC-130 Hercules Lockheed C-130 CT-133 Silver Star Lockheed T-33 CH-135 Bell 212 CH-136 Kiowa Bell OH-58 CC-137 Boeing 707 CC-138 Twin Otter De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter CP-140 Aurora/Arcturus Lockheed P-3 Orion (A derivative with the avionics of the S-3 Viking.)
