    Helmet Visor strength

    Always about the drivers ::) Wonder why(on a griffin anyways) the crash axe is located behide the pilot, within easy reach of the FE? Sure, secondary use, to bust your way out........ but first.....love taps on the back of your brain buckets when you don't listen to us ;D

    Tan berets and other CANSOFCOM, JTF, and CSOR fashions [1st split: CSOR]

    Well, you quoted trakalo so I'd say you were going after him. He had a simple question for which a "not at this time"  or "no known plans for one" answer or something would have sufficed instead of showing your ignorance. And going by your logic, your not in CSOR so why answer to begin with? ...

    Hahahahahha......come on snake, nascar?.......AVN are too busy to watch TV :P But superhawk, snake is right about cross quals....even on bigger airframes, AVS can get qualified AVN checks and vice versa. And my clean trade comment, well, I won't retract it but in my last Sqn before I remustered...

    Aviation Systems Technician ( AVN Tech )

    No........never an AVS tech....I was an AVN tech but now a Flight Engineer. As for a lab type workplace, depends on where you'd end up. Somewhere like Cold Lake would have AVS labs....a small unit, most likely not. And as a new guy, you'd end up in a servicing/snags enviroment first....but you'd...

    Aviation Systems Technician ( AVN Tech )

    Depends on the fleet.....but in herc world, taterheads (AVS) now do AC/DC up to the generator...but they won't change them. Lights are an AVS thing also...used to be Avn. But Avn still do electrical related to an engine or airframe specific part....meaning, a solenoid on an airframe part is done...

    Chinook homes decided

    At the morning brief today, fresh from 1 Wing,  one thing now known for sure is that the Chinooks will be at only 2 bases. Edmonton and Petewawa. There will be more to follow over the next while and as I find out, I'll post it. Everything else (new Sqn's or absorb them into the existing ones...

    Cornwallis Vs. St Jean

    Good old Cornwallis........yep...'82 was a good year....no human rights act yet, so needless to say, it was common to get a pace stick across the back of the legs (and that's if they liked you!) and various things tossed at you....and having your kit tossed out the window. Our first weekend at...
