Nothing beats driving past a rolled military flatbed truck that was carrying not one, but two of the only 36 ADATS in the world….

You, good sir, win the internet.

The ATIS showed some fairly strong gustly winds right down the pipe for RWY 32. Maybe they were setting up for a runway change?

If you look at the VASA video, right before impact, PAT25 was facing down the river, directly towards the accident RJ. They were nearly co-altitude. But, there was a second RJ directly behind the the first one. I wonder if PAT25 visually identified the second one and assumed they had the...

Whoa. That bad?

Mk 46 is an ASW weapon….

In the sense that the Russian ships came alongside and no one sank them…

We have various plans to get people AEGIS qualified, before the first River Class Destroyer arrives.

What “large NATO Exercise” in 2022 are you referring to?

In a lot of these cases, a hull would get laid down, but if there was no war, there was no particular hurry to finish and commission the ship. Commissioned ships cost HM Govt money. Ships out of commission (essentially a hull with a roof over it) were cheap. English shipyards could build ships...

I happen to think, given the highly integrated nature of the pipeline and refining network in North America, that cutting off oil supplies to the US would have the effect of many Canadian markets also running out of refined product, because we import from US refineries. We are potentially...

I looked into panels for my house, plus a power wall. With a 20 year amortization period and both the battery wall/panels losing 1-2% efficiency per year, I could not make the numbers work in my favour. Now, I am considering a backup generator. Suddenly, the numbers start to work, when you look...

Incompetent workmanship aside- 202 workshop or one of the FMFs should be the gun barrel SME for the CAF….

I would also point out that, for my family size, there are really not that many Hybrid or Electric vehicles that work- certainly not at a price point I am willing to consider.

202 Workshop?

I think a lot of the push back against electric or hybrid vehicles comes from Governments at various levels attempting to dictate a “one size fits all” solution to transportation needs, in a country as diverse as Canada. Let the consumer decide for herself what they can afford and what fits...

It wasn’t until this summer that I began to understand the difference between Highland and Lowland Scots.

It was far more likely that it was other Scots afflicting your Scottish ancestors. The Clearances, for example, were largely carried out by Scottish Lairds, so they could make more money off their land. The English mostly didn’t care that much.

I get that. My point is: he is at St Jean. His platoon commander is paid to sort out this kind of thing. The issue is that the parent should never even need to be involved.
