    FWSAR (CC130H, Buffalo, C27J, V22): Status & Possibilities

    Even better for your guys then - with the removal of the H models - you won't have three SAR squadrons plus one school to worry about.

    FWSAR (CC130H, Buffalo, C27J, V22): Status & Possibilities

    AAR role will disappear - at least from the current squadron that is tasked to provide. Transport will continue to be done - with SAR being the first line of tasking. Speed is arbitrary and inconclusive at this moment - if speed was the ultimate factor we would have Hornets equipped with SKADs...

    FWSAR (CC130H, Buffalo, C27J, V22): Status & Possibilities

    Apologies for delay - I spent about 4 hours crawling over the Brazilian variant of our new CC-295.  It is superior in every way to the Buffalo - faster, more comfortable, pressurized and more room.  It's not a Herc - nor was it ever meant to be.  Airbus has built a nice package for our...

    FWSAR (CC130H, Buffalo, C27J, V22): Status & Possibilities

    I am unable to decipher anywhere that the C-295W does not meet ICAO requirements for flight into known icing conditions.  That linked article refers to the CASA entering clear icing (severe clear) and an attempt was made to climb out of it - resulting in a spin.  There are no aircraft in the...

    FWSAR (CC130H, Buffalo, C27J, V22): Status & Possibilities

    So here's the unsanctioned opinion of a private citizen - it's better than what we currently have. Buff's are underpowered.  Hercs are old, expensive to run and way too much for what is needed. FWSAR will undergo a complete re-org when it comes to how they do their job.  Valley-shoots, close...

    Don't get sick over the holidays

    The CAF doesn't shut down over a holiday - you can always contact your base ops, who have access to duty personnel phone numbers.  There are duty pharmacists and doctors on call 24/7.

    Paying Compliments (Saluting, Verbal Address)

    Navy doesn't have arid ranks - so no executive curl.  Quite easy to mistake a Lt(N) for an Air Force Captain.

    FWSAR (CC130H, Buffalo, C27J, V22): Status & Possibilities

    Happy to have a replacement finally on the books.  Like it or not - this is the future FWSAR.

    RCAF Leather Jacket (merged discussion and mocking)

    Is your Log Officer wearing a flightsuit or 3B?  Not for wear with LWCC - so unless you are a Ottawa staff officer, when do you plan on wearing it?

    Vision Questions Megathread, Categories, Problems etc.

    Your eyes will be looked at by an approved Ophthalmologist who will determine if you are fit for pilot.  20/20 is fine, but if you are not V1 (or maybe V2) - it's not happening.

    Op IMPACT: CAF in the Iraq & Syria crisis

    The system is changing - we have changed policy with DHH and are now able to order all tour medals in theatre and have delivered to home units.

    Pay: Statements, Backpay, Benefits, Deductions (Taxes, T4), Deployed ect... [MERGED]

    Your Incentive Pay Category (IPC) will most probably revert to level 0 of the next rank, unless level 0 is less than whatever the member was receiving at the previous IPC (rare).
