Hi Tulio--

No, just St-Jean (of course three quarters of the towns in Quebec are named after saints, making things a tad confusing at times!). There were two CF-100s in St-Jean, one (Mk.5 18746) at the military college and one (Mk.2 18104) at the base itself (along with a T-33 and Sabre--at one time the P-51 now with IWM was displayed there too).

You make a point though: the three St-Jean jets could have been moved rather than scrapped. Anyone know for sure?
