Slight correction...
I should have checked my facts better. Don Rogers, who died recently, was the last surviving test pilot from Avro Canada. He was Avro's Chief Test Pilot at the time of the Arrow program. He did not, however, pilot the Arrow. His aviation claims to fame were the landmark test flights of the Avro C-102 Jetliner.
The 4 Arrow test pilots were, in fact:
- Jan Zurakowski (d. 02/2004)
- Peter Cope (d. 04/2005)
- Jack Woodman (d. 05/1967)
- Wladyslaw "Spud" Potocki (d. 1996)

And if you go to my home town of Barry's Bay, there is a tribute to Jan. I could give you some other trivia regarding Jan and family, however, I'll keep it off here. :-)
