The plantains at the hotel are actually a pretty good substitute for pepto.

The Coasties called the “indigestion” caused by that place “The Comalapa Ploppas”.

H fleet is too small for 4 bases so J is taking over Trenton.

J-model stop-gap implementation is going much, much better than the ‘long term plan’.

It’s not on your SOI…. It’s not on your CFTPO… does not compute…

seems pretty aggressive. FWSAR project started in 2002 for reference, and I’m not even sure that was the first attempt. Fixed-wing search and rescue procurement project - Canada.ca

I’ve never understood why the Navy wants to be camouflaged in the water. Everyone can see the boat, and if you fall in the water I’m pretty sure you’re not playing hide-and-seek.

The heavy-weight Airforce ones are wool. They’re way too thick to wear in the plane but great for non-CAF stuff.

Yeah, I use them for biking in the winter, they’re pretty durable. I assume you know CAF members get 40% off through Icebreaker Pro Deals?

Your buddy should switch to Air Ops Officer if he meets the requirements for it, they’re handing out PLARs to anyone with flight time, I know a LM and FE who just got the whole thing. Our ARAF offered everyone max time back in Jun ish.

They were the second international customer, the plane was still pretty new at the time. Also worth noting that they seem to have been Delivered in 1999

I think they’re talking about employees who basically ride for free (they pay airport taxes). According to AC, none of the cancellations are within their control.

It’s ~100 it’s for stall with flaps up. The issue for TAL is that you need to slow down, so more time to shoot at you. And for SAR the maneuvering is pretty aggressive and the J doesn’t slow down very well so high chance of overspeed. H has 150 ramp speed but it slows down a lot better because...

Please no. Some bonehead didn’t understand the question when Lockmart asked if they wanted the high-speed ramp. He said the ramp opens fast enough. So they’ve got the only J models in the world that can’t exceed 150 knots with the ramp open, the rest of the fleet is 250.

BLUF: supervisor didn’t think gas would actually explode. 🙄🤯

Nope. 7.1.1 Edit: here’s the upgrade schedule http://dgpaapp.forces.gc.ca/en/defence-capabilities-blueprint/project-details.asp?id=1784

They apparently have new centre wing boxes, that’s the major structural component. But I’ve heard that they’re Block 6, we’re in block 7 and most users (including us) are moving to block 8, the costs to switch are pretty substantial and when doing simulator training you need to do it on the...

I applied for a free membership because it comes with a discount program, it’s been over a week and they still haven’t processed it or responded to an email so they’re not helping themselves.

We’ve known this was coming for decades and it’s only just begun. Here’s a chart showing the number of people in Australia turning 65 because I’m too lazy to find one for Canada.

We’ve never been able to fully/properly implement anything in a timely manner. It would be unfortunate if this were the only exception.
