Over the years, people have built replicas for display purposes, but a group of volunteers in Calgary have much higher hopes for their model — they're building a 0.6-scale replica of the famous jet that could one day take flight.
At a small hangar at Calgary's Springbank Airport, a handful of volunteers gather each Tuesday for build night.
They've been meeting over the last 20 years, and spent the first eight years in research and development.
Building a model of the plane will be difficult enough, but the group is also ensuring that the aircraft — called the Arrow II — is built to conform to the amateur build regulations of Canada, making it an even more painstaking process.

It looks like a cool project. I hope we get to see it down the road at airshows across Canada!
