This airplane is on display along with many railcars at the New Brunswick Railway Museum. It is the only aircraft here. There are no plaques for the airplane and it is on display next to the picnic benches.
The aircraft is a McDonnell C101 Voodoo, used by the Royal Canadian Air force and the Canadian Forces between 1961-1984 as an interceptor.
Originally manufactured by McDonnell Aircraft Corporation at their plant in St. Louis, Missouri to be used by the United States Air Force (as model F-101) some of the planes were sold to Canada to replace the Canadian Air Force's obsolete Avro CF-100 Canuck.
The RCAF retired theCF-101s in the 1980s when they upgraded to McDonnell Douglas CF-18 Hornet fighters.
According to this website, the Tail Number 101028 that is currently on the plane is not the original number: (it was originally 57-343/346 but converted to 101028 when the RCAF transferred it to the
Canadian Armed Force as 101028 in 1970/71)
