Was lucky enough to be spectating from the flight deck on the flight in question. You can see a bit of the flyover at the Wayne Gretzky Classic at www.gretzky.com. Looks like the CF was a prominent feature of the opening ceremonies, good to see!

That's what I remember being told as well. My question is, if you don't fit a training craft cockpit at medicals, does that rule you out of that stream altogether? I didn't fit the Jetranger (somehow?), so does that mean I won't have to worry about avoiding those god forsaken broken-wing...

Crappy quality vid, but still a pretty neat heritage flight; http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=EfIHbAg6Ng8

I think the 'F' is for Finissantes (SP?) aka the Franco grads.

Wait for BFT is only about 6mo right now from what I've seen, AND on the plus side your wait doesn't start until you get your profile! No no wait, I meant down side.

I'll second that, just having escaped that CFLS (luckily only after a couple of months) and, worse yet, having friends stuck there until november, Anglo pilots are doing SLT. In fact, ONLY pilots and PAFFOs are doing SLT.

Not to rebut the 'expert' opinion previously posted, but a buddy of mine was in the same boat and I found out that over the past few fighter courses there had been several 30+ candidates. Jetstream just wanted to make things all hardcore and sexy, a little-lot over the top at times.

What day did you catch 320? I might have been on board!

I think he's implying it will get you out of the YEAR long wait for PFT, which I am currently so fortunate enough to be beginning. Wait for MJ for those with PFT bypass is only 6mo or less...

  Where did you read this? If online, link? I've heard alot of heresay about the F-22 not being all it's made out to be, but never read anything official/concrete/verified by anybody. Regardless of whether it makes you entirely invisible or not, stealth seems to be quite the asset to have even...

Garrison goggles.

Tips?   Head to Mountain Equiptment Co in Montreal and buy yourself a proper set of long johns and black ski gloves, these probably saved my life during the last week in the field. The cold won't be that bad, it's better when it is very cold rather than what we had for 3 of our 4 weeks in the...

I didn't realize I was being held responsible for 9 pages of text. My comment was merely an observation really, 400 words is incredible brief for somebody trying to cover all those points; but then again that might just be my wordy university-style writing as I am normally used to trying to...

A friend of mine is looking into the CT-142 as a reservist idea. Who should he contact, the unit itself?

Anybody have any tips for shortening a bio? I am having trouble packing that much information into 400 words!

I saw the same thing on a CBC or TVO documentary; lapbelt broke during practice and pilot was able to recover. What a bummer though.

  You should use the arrival of the CC-177 to usher in a new era of sexy 'trash hauling'! How about 'Smasher 21'  ;D   Congrats on the new ship GS, can't wait to see it in person.   Some good pics coming up over on fencecheck.com's abby discussion...

This is a question I've wondered myself, glad to see it doesn't seem to be a problem. Just a clarification, does that mean you can keep your spot on the waiting list for BFT while doing some full time studies?

Are you f'n nuts? Why would it feel better having NO chance rather than having an opportunity to quit complaining and do what it takes to get your ass in a CF seat?? I got rejected TWICE before I got in, and not once did I bitch about the system. I got right back on the saddle to try and figure...

Does this mean that the public open house deal at trenton is no longer?
