Used in the contest were 2.75 inch rockets carried by CF-100 interceptors fired at "radops", small torpedo-shaped targets towed behind T-33 jet trainers. Ottawa's 410 Squadron was the winner out of 18 teams competing. 2. Bomarc for RCAF? The RCAF is studying the possibility of using U.S-built Bomarc IM-99 guided missles under the newly-established integrated North American Air Defence System. 3. RCAF-USAF Interchange Two Ottawa based CF-100 interceptor squadrons recently shared a six-week work-out with American all-weather squadrons at Ernest Harmon AFB, Newfoundland.
