If Canadair went ahead with the all weather CL 13H Sabre, would there have been less Avro CF-100's? Also, I'd assume that the CL 13H would have look like the F-86D/K. However, I'm not sure what armament they'd have used? Rockets or the 20 mm cannons? The CL 13H would have probably based in Europe instead of the CF-100 Mk.4's that were stationed there. Be interesting to see the camo paint on it.

I'm guessing it would've been similar to whatever the Yanks had. 20 MM cannon does sound good, tho. Not sure as to what number would have been produced, I believe the RCAF brass like the second seat/ Nav guy.

As for the paint, probably would have been the same as the Clunker, as the 104 wasn't much diferent either.

I'd argue for the 20mm cannon like the F-86K had, I can't see the RCAF being quite as enamored with unguided rockets as the USAF.

I couldn't find any expect for USAF Sabre Dogs and Foregin operators of the F-86K. If someonelse knows of any for the CL 13H please reply with a link.

I kinda of agree that the RCAF would have went with 20mm cannons and unguided rockets in pods on hardpoints probably where the fuel drop tanks would be.
