The stuff that was destroyed was destroyed full stop, not dropped in the lake. In the lake are models that crashed - JD Jul 28, 08:04 2
- I fully realize that. I realized that I could have written that cleaner as I posted it but I thought folks would understand what I'm asking. -- nm - crash davis Jul 28, 08:17 1
  - As crazy as the end of the Arrow project was....it might be plausible that they dropped the stuff in the lake ;-) -- nm - JD Jul 28, 08:20
To create the great Canadian conspiracy theory. - Name Withheld by Request Jul 28, 07:38 6
- I was totally unaware of this. Thanks. -- nm - crash davis Jul 28, 07:49 1
  - So I decided to spend 15 minutes Googling to see if we could explain the scrapping. Best I can find is from Wiki. Blame Soviet spys. - Name Withheld by Request Jul 28, 07:58
- it's pretty hard to come up with a logical alternative though. "Let's scrap it for no reason whatsoever.' - Andie Jul 28, 07:42 2
  - Yeah. Shutting down the program, the financial cost and Canadian middle-to-lower power anxiousness explains. Destroying everything? I dunno. - Name Withheld by Request Jul 28, 07:45 1
    - Also, it was an interceptor - an aircraft designed to intercept long-range bombers coming over the Arctic. - Roger More Jul 28, 07:52
- this. Dan Akroyd did a mini-series about the whole project if memory serves -- nm - Beaker Jul 28, 07:40
