My previous post was a joke. Sorry people.

Super Hornet has two engines. F18: 1 F35: everything else

The US Navy is planning to upgrade all their 160 Block I Growlers to Block II (Block III Super Hornet equivalent) but some systems wont be ready until 2025. I'm not sure when Boeing would be rolling out brand new Block II Growlers. I just realized the US Navy has almost double the amount of...

The video that NavyShooter shared of Vincent Aiello from the Fighter Pilot Podcast talking to former CO/Lead of the Snowbirds Robert Mitchell was great. He shared an experience he personally had when the team was practicing. He had a bird strike and left the formation by gaining altitude...

Maybe if the RCMP had more horse musical rides, maybe their recruitment would be higher. Joking. Is this high on the priority list? No. After looking at previous incidents with the Snowbirds, before the last year, it looks like there haven't been any in almost a decade. I think with the last 2...

How about Boeing's T-X. The US is using it to replace their again T-38's, so if Canada had it as well then it would be the same aircraft for the pilots who train in the US and Canada in the NFTC Program. It wouldn't be an exact copy as the British Red Arrows. Any fighter pilots would have...

Now that I think about it, what you're saying makes sense. They'd like to see they that you're capable of passing school at a university level. I already had an ILP in for FY18/19 and just amended it. I know funding is down but I hope they at least approve it. If not, I'll just bite the bullet...

And here's a 2016 article. Military studies extending life of Snowbird aircraft 20 years past retirement https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/snowbirds-tutor-jets-replacement-1.3689876 "The aerobatic show team thrills spectators by swirling the skies in precise formations, demonstrating the...

Here's an article on that... from 11 years ago. Spare parts could keep Snowbirds aloft until 2020 https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2009/06/14/spare_parts_could_keep_snowbirds_aloft_until_2020.html

Very possible. I saw a video of the crash, and the aircraft was at 45' downward angle when the two ejected and it looked like a decent enough altitude. Obviously there are a lot of factors like location of landing, having adequate training on landing safely after an ejection, and whether or not...

Sadly I don't see ACS Tech on their list of trades but I can always give them a call and see what they say. Also, I'll be meeting with the BPSO in the coming weeks so I'll discuss that with him.

Does the UTPNCM competition say where the credits have to come from? I thought all it said was 2 full time courses or 4 semester-length courses (3 credits each, totalling 12 credits). On another note, hopefully someone hears something next week.

Well if I have 6 so far maybe I can get another 6 for being ACS. I sure hope so! The link would be great, thank you!

I asked him. He applied; CEOTP - Pilot UTPNCM - Pilot AEC

The BPSO also said in either case I should look into taking more university courses and to book a self-referral appointment to discuss it in detail, which I did. I currently have one course (microeconomics) amounting to 3 credits. I just realized I did a welding course with the military at Red...

Thanks for the insight. I was making the point after reading the post by Uzlu titled “Low-risk capability“ in the 19th paragraph. I still hope the RCAF goes with the F35A.
