Cold War Heritage Wall Art

Cold War Heritage — 2 museum-grade prints that set the mood. Canada adopted the CF-18 — officially the CF-188 — in the early 1980s to replace CF-101 Voodoos and CF-104 Starfighters, fielding a twin-engine Hornet adapted for NORAD intercept and later expeditionary roles. The Nighthawks of 409 Tactical Fighter Squadron trace their lineage to the Second World War and remain one of six fighter squadrons in the RCAF, with four based at CFB Cold Lake; the unit deployed to Kuwait in 2014 for Operation Inherent Resolve. The Sukhoi Su-24 Fencer — NATO reporting name for the Soviet Union's first dedicated all-weather, variable-sweep strike aircraft — entered service in the early 1970s with a side-by-side cockpit layout optimised for low-level terrain-following penetration. The Su-24M2 sub-variant introduced modernised navigation-attack systems and expanded precision-guided munitions capability including Kh-59 standoff missiles and KAB-500 laser-guided bombs.
