    177701 - Inaugural Flight

    The other night on the news there was a very quick shot of the cockpit, same one as above, and I thought I was hallucinating when I thought I saw a joystick instead of a yoke. Now it appears from the still above that I wasn't hallucinateing but I do have a question for pilots.....do pilots have...

    POLL: Pierre Trudeau is the #1 worst Canadian?

    Gerald Bull....the guy was apparently a genius in his field...he probably wouldn't have gone to work for Saddam if he had gotten some support from our government and DND....he did a hell of a job improveing the South Africans' artillery....could have been ours instead.

    Bahamas child rapist to appeal 'inhumane' flogging sentence

    Folks....the maximum prison time allowed under Bahamas law is 7 years for a first offence...not enough in my opinion but thats what it is. The flogging aspect I don't have a problem with but it is a very touchy subject in a country that is 90% black and that has had majority rule for only 35...

    National Geographic - The Warriors of the French Foreign Legion

    Yup...its a pretty good show...seen it about 6 times over the past 2 years.  If I remember correctly there's an ex-legionnaire on the show with the same last name as one of the regulars here...don't think its the same fellow though ;)

    Passports

    What doesn't make sense is the government changing the policy from a "professional" to act as a guarantor to ANYONE WHO HAS A PASSPORT.    :o This seems to me to be leaveing a possibly large security loophole available to the bad guys. I"d prefer to see us have passports that are valid for 10...

    Prince Andrew visits the Royal Highland Fusiliers of Canada. 05 May 07

    RHFC_Piper.....a small correction to your original post if I may....the term" His Majesty" is incorrect.....the title Majesty is reserved for the reigning monarch. Prince Andrew is  "His Royal Highness".

    Historic tank comparisons, split from Re: Leopard 2's - 100 from the Dutch

    If I remember correctly,and my memory is like collander ;D it seems to me that the "scoreing parameters" if one can call them that,were slightly different on each show which would help explain the differences in the final listings. As an example I believe that one of the main or decideing...

    Oh no,another Neverendum Referendum

    What I find interesting about the whole concept of seperation are the following.....every seperatist I've ever talked to,  can't really tell me how a seperate Quebec will actually change their day-to-day lives...after all if you are Franco and liveing in Quebec you are liveing in a French...

    Oh no,another Neverendum Referendum

    My civi-anglo-quebec 2 cents worth. I was born,1955, and grew up in Montreal but from about 1972 until about 1980 I lived in about 6 different countries......when I returned to Quebec in 1980. I moved to a small village(95% franco) north of Montreal. I hadn't used my french for 10 years at...

    Submariners face health risk

    I'm just throwing this into the pot for discussion....leaveing out nuclear boats...it seems to me that diesel/electric boats, by their very nature are a health risk...by this I mean that you are dealing with a very crowded,confined space that is essentially sealed off from fresh air for many...
