GAR-2A / AIM-4C Missile - Legion 35 - Red Deer, Alberta - Static Aircraft Displays on Waymarking.com

Long Description:
"The GAR-2 was very similar to the GAR-1D, but used infrared homing instead of SARH, which had the obvious advantage of making the GAR-2 a "fire-and-forget" missile. Like the GAR-1, it became operational in 1956. Normally, interceptor aircraft were equipped with both types of missile, and it was not unusual for a pilot to fire one missile of each variant on a two-missile salvo, to increase the chances of a kill should one guidance method fail. The GAR-2A variant had an improved IR seeker which could lock on targets in a wider range of background temperatures. More than 26000 rounds of the GAR-2/2A were built.
