Improved to Good Article status by Amitchell125 (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 19:30, 3 November 2022 (UTC).
Article was promoted to GA status on time. No close paraphrasing was detected. A QPQ has been done. ALT0 is cited inline, AGF on the offline source. ALT1 is cited inline, but the actual sentence that mentions the "whistling shithouse" sentence is lacking a footnote; the footnote referencing it needs to be duplicated for DYK purposes. There's also a missing space before "In QCA use". Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 07:00, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
- I have to note that ALT1 is my preferred hook, but if it doesn't work out or if consensus says that it can't run then ALT0 is a good alternative. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 14:18, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Thank you, GTG. My preferred hook remains ALT1; however, if consensus states that it can't run due to the use of the word "shit", then ALT0 can be used as an alternative. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:02, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

- I have no idea how reliable this source is, but it says that the plane only served with the RCAF until 1946 and it claims that the pic was taken by them, so while I couldn't find an actual year or location, according to it the pic would have been taken no later than 1946, which is over 50 years ago.

- Seems to be ripping from a newspaper, so I'll take it.
