| I don't think this is the first time something like his would have happened. The Canadian company Avro cancelled their Arrow in the 1950's, an aircraft that was years ahead of its time, and instead adopted to use US Army Nike missiles to defend their skies from Soviet bombers. This was at the time seen as another attempt by American companies to dominate the defense industry of the West. But in the 70's the Royal Canadian Mounted Police announced that the Soviet's had a spy in the Avro company. And only a few years after the cancellation of the Arrow the Mig-25 flew for the first time, a plane which had a startling resemblance to the Arrow.
Bleh, I don't think it was the Mig-25 I meant to say, looks like it is time to put the old noggin to some use.
