An image looking up at the nose, cockpit and jet engine nacelles of the CF-100 which can be found at the Bomber Command Museum of Canada located at Nanton, Alberta, Canada. The nose gear is extended as if the aircraft is landing. The skin of the aircraft is relatively clean, polished aluminium. The aircraft's nose is painted black.  On the side of the fuselage, there is a small, orange circle with the silhouette of a witch riding a broomstick.  Superimposed over the photo, in the top right-hand corner of the image are the words ยซ FIGHTER Friday  ยป.  The word Friday is written in script.
"There is only one seat in the cockpit of a fighter โ€ฆ no one else to break the solitude โ€ฆ no one else to make decisions." โ€” Richard Bach
