Vampire FB.6

The Vampire F.3 was the first jet fighter to enter RCAF service in any significant numbers. It introduced fighter pilots not only to jet flying, but also to cockpit pressurization and tricycle landing gear. Vampire Mk.3s were flown by six RCAF Auxiliary Squadrons until the end of 1956.
