here is a good webpage with a good breakdown of the h92 and what it can do. http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/superhawk/index.html

looks like the decision has been made for political reason according to this globe article: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20040723.wxseakings0723/BNStory/National/ personally i think things could be a lot worse.  it is still is the second best aircraft for the job, behind...

hey if the military surgeons are being under utilized they are still being paid the same so you might as well get use out of them, not to mention experience is the greatest training tool.  it is hard enough on military spouses so why not let them a have a greater benefit too.

Replacing the CF18s with the Super Hornet would eliminate the need for the JSF therefore the JSF would never be acquired.  The JSF should be in production in the next 5-8 years and be operational shortly there after with the US and the UK.  The CF18s are currently being being modified so that...

another hint other than dressign nice, is don't wear cologne and especially not aftershave.  you never know who might be allergic to it.  It might make a bad forst impression.  that being said make sure you don't have any other "scent" either.

I think the thing to keep in mind is that in the end this government will only last two years at the most.  There are not going to be any huge decisions being made that could lose the Liberals the next election.  Probably the only major spending decision that this government will make concerning...

The number of C17s DND planners throw around is 6, and they tought they were going to get them unitl the Chretien put and end to the stat airlift purchase. 

The first Polaris regulars should soon return from its modifications and testing it will allow the second one to go over to France and start getting its mods done.  The first one should be back sooner than later now allowing Canada to return to the strategic refueling business and allowing the...

even if you can't find shaving cream in a tube don't worry about taking the can as long as you are going commercial.  i fly all the time and always have my shaving gel in my checked baggage and have yet for it to explode in my suitcase. 

The A-10 and Harrier are pipe dreams even if Canada could afford them.  Both airframes are outdated and no longer in production.  While the A-10's stored would be cheap to acquire the knowledge and technology to make them would be anything but cheap.  Either as already mentioned the CF has niche...

From what I know about the credit check they are looking more for whether you will be able to pay your cuurent loans off with the pay you will recieve. As for student loans, it is not a big deal because almost everyone has them in one form or another. I think they are looking for more bouncing...

I think whomever told you to see use the GRT as a guide mark might be more than a little off. The CFAT doesn‘t for the most part have anything on it that is beyond grade 10 subject matter. The best pre-test stuff is what is on the public works website.

Old Guy these are all very good points, however, from the debate I have been having this gentleman over airships, I am sure that the logic you have provided to the conversation will fall upon deaf ears. I can only hope that your points will help to enforce the point that these machines do have...

Old Guy, I do not dispute that that the airship has a lot of potential, however, due to it‘s speed it just cannot be used as a stategic airlift platform. When outsize equipment is needed quickly it would just take too long to get there. That is why I have been saying that the most logical use...

not to mention he mispelled captain.

This is really a waste of my time to keep posting, you just don‘t get what I am saying at all. You obviously do not understand tactical and strategic airlift and why airships are not part of that no matter how much I post that airships are not a replacement for airlift, especially hercs. I...

I done trying to explain why airships are not a feasible solution for the air force‘s transports woes. I have explained that it is a rememdy for the future Navy sealift requirement...if it comes to fruition, but that is a big if. As for Kamovs they are not and will not be in the running for...

Plain and simply airships are not viable solutions for an air force. Airships have always been used as a second option to seacraft. They are too slow and too big to be used as anything less than a replacement for a ship. They hold no tactical value whatever to the air force due to that size...

Here was just another guy looking for a free ride and when they told him that he might actually have to do what he signed up to do he turned tail and ran. He has truly no good excuse to why. I think without a doubt, no matter how stunted you are mentally, you know what the army does when you...

It would be next to impossible for the Canadian military to buy Russian. It is a political nightmare waiting to happen. The logistics of training among many other things, precludes any purchase anyways. We are a NATO country and that means most of the equipment that we purchase should be...
