  thank you zoomie!!

  don't think the superbug can supercruise

for those of you that don't check the CF websites: http://www.airforce.forces.gc.ca/news/2006/01/11_e.asp silver fox just doesn't look as intimidating as a patroling CF-188!  ;)

slightly off topic but to do with supporting the CF-188s... does Canada still have many CF-5 mothballed? I have heard there are a few that fly out of Winnipeg every once and a while either to keep the a/c or the pilots current...

The smaller 'counter drug ops' or Helicopter Interdiction (HITRON) helo is the MH-68 Stingray (a militarized A109)...  sexy/sporty looking set of rotors if i've ever seen any! sehttp://www.uscg.mil/datasheet/images/MH68_Pics_0054_40.jpg

Howdy Fellas,   Things seem to be a little quiet in here! Anyway, has anybody checked out www.patricksaviation.com ? You definatly should, some cool videos available on this site including 3 CF contributions... A pretty cool Bagotville OJT sortie in a CF-18B, another cool one with Harvard IIs...

dammit! thanks for the correction there mike... proofread proofread proofread i guess!

Did a search and didn't come up with the URL, so sorry if it's already been posted but; for those interested in what a spartan in Cdn SAR colours would look like and some info: www.c27j.ca  ... definatly isn't as good or rugged looking as those beautiful buffalo!

anybody have any personal accounts/tales?   sorry bout all the Qs, I'm just trying to gather as much info as i can from a non-recruiter perspective...

Thanks for the info fellas... now could anybody add info or point to a link about what basic officer training is comprised of??

Howdy everybody!   After doing a thorough scan of much of the info relating to pilots etc I figured I'd join and ask anybody 'in the know's opinion about my situation. I have an absolute passion for military aviation! That being said I am currently at a position in my life where I'd like to...
