Fair use rationale for Image:Orendalogo.jpg

Image:Orendalogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:48, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed installation on the F-105 Thunderchief

Apparently before Canada picked the F-104 for its commitment to NATO strike capabilities, there was a contest held for the role and among the choices was the F-105 Thunderchief partnered with the Iroquois engine. The timeframe was in the mid-late 50s, just before the Phantom came online, and the engine wasn't in the rubbish bin yet. Would've been nice to see something come out of the entire program, but apparently, Canada dropped the choice due to cost -though depending on the timeframe, it could've been Diefenbaker trying to close the back door on Avro and make a clean cancel-away. Could've been a good choice, since the F-105 was a better fit for the role and the F-104 was more dangerous to the pilot than the enemy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dalbunosky (talk • contribs) 08:09, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Iroquois was designed by Orenda Engines with technical assistance from Armstrong Siddeley Motors.
