Looks Like Canada 6: Avro Arrow
The Avro Arrow or CF-105 was a Canadian built and designed 1950s era jet fighter, it was one of the fastest aircraft of its day. Scrapped before it could be fully produced, the Arrow has become an important part of Canadian history and the Canadian cultural identity.

A commemorative full-scale model of the Avro Arrow is now on display at the Toronto Aerospace Museum.
(Podcast correction: In the show I mentioned that the Arrow replica is at the Aviation Museum in Ottawa. It is actually on display at the Toronto Aerospace Museum.)
