Crap, now the pressure's on! How about this bad boy: MG

Pz 68? It's hard to tell with the ghey paint job. MG

Swiss Pz 61 MG

I sit corrected.  :-[ MG

Tomahawk6, I think the title of this topic is off as the article is about an F-16 wing and not B1s. Also, I'm pretty sure that the Sniper XR pod does not allow pilots to see 360 degrees on any plane (x, y, z). Still a good piece of kit though. MG

This sounds vaguely familiar... MG

I just thought I'd throw in some points on the (planned) way ahead for LAV III RWS as briefed by the PMO. As many of you know, we had originally planned to purchase 74 (IIRC) LAV III TUAs but this number was then reduced to 33. As a result, there were 41 additional hulls sitting around without...

I'm in Camp Blanding, Florida right now experiencing the shower-curtain-for-stall-door experience right now. Our shacks are fairly comfortable but also extremely rudimentary. Still, they're cheap and are just right for what we're doing. Living in these shacks for any period of time would be a...

OK, I had a smoke and I wasn't even in the initial bun fight!  >:D  Here's my humble opinion on this unsubstantiated rumour: perfect is the enemy of good enough. We seem to always strive for perfect in our acquisitions when 'good enough' is, well, good enough. Yeah, the 20/80 split is not ideal...

I believe that's why he said he would split the Bde. The Sask units would form another BG. (Am I close?) MG

We don't!? Man am I ever out of the loop. Welcome to Army.ca MG

Meridian, The GG normally has 4 ADCs but Mme Clarkson was twice as busy as her predecessors (approx 700 events per year vice 350) so she had 5. There were always 2 on duty, 2 conducting recces/planning (because we always went everywhere she went ahead of time) and 1 planning/on leave/as...

Meridian, I was selected. First by my career manager as a suitable candidate and then by the GG and her staff after two days of tests and interviews. The tests were basic staff duties/bilingualism tests but I think I clinched the deal in the swimsuit competition.  ;) My time with Mme Clarkson...

Having been her ADC for two years I can tell you that the PPCLI is gaining an exceptional Colonel-in-Chief. I have no doubt she will display the same concern and devotion to your regiment that she showed (and still shows) for the entire CF while Commander-in-Chief. As a Royal Canadian, I have...

JackD, Close but not quite. Whereas the CF-116 was a short-legged aircraft with a relatively small payload and those being three aircraft vice two, it's a little different. But I still see your point in that we go to different fleets for different roles. MG

Andrew, I've often thought about this very idea although I wouldn't take it as far as arming a crop-duster. I know this isn't a popular opinion in the AF (especially the fighter community) but my opinion has always been that perhaps we need two different fleets of aircraft rather than a fleet...

Don't do that Kirkhill! He might want a slice of the regional benefits too! I can just see the headline now: Boeing Forced to Give 80% of Regional Economic Benefits to Paradise After Allah Secures Contract for CF MG

Yeah, that should do. My CO just said to me "Y'know Ops O, you're not as big an idiot as you appear to be." So I'm well above my quota for compliments this month. With all this praise coming my way, I might not fit my head in my car (certainly not with my beret on...). 8) MG

Damn straight! I'm correct so infrequently that I'm going to have to ask the moderators to lock this thread so that I may bask in that comment for evermore. 8)
