Trenton - Freedom Fighter

 

Location:  Hastings County   N 44° 07.853 W 077° 35.000
Easily seen from Highway 401, at the southwest corner of the Glen Miller Road/Sidney Street exit.  Behind the Holiday Inn off Sidney Street.

Dedicated in 1995, by the RCAF Memorial Museum, which is located nearby at CFB Trenton.  The aircraft is a sleek CF-116A/F5 Freedom Fighter.  A beautiful piece of equipment, almost like a sculpture against the blue skies.
