History: 
416 Fighter Squadron formed in November 1941 and became the “Lynx” All-Weather Fighter Squadron in February 1957. In January 1962 416 AWFS moved to Bagotville, Quebec and in November 1962 they moved to CFB Chatham, New Brunswick for 22 years. Former USAF Voodoo 57-382 entered Canadian service as CF-101B c/n 560 serial 101045 in May 1971 until September 1984. At the end of 1984 the Voodoos were replaced by CF-18 Hornets and the 416 became a TFS and were the world’s last front-line unit flying Voodoos.
