This is the exact type of posting I am talking about.  When someonwe new on here asks a question, or makes a post about something that has already been discussed, they should be gracefully pointed in the right direction.  Instead they are sometimes barraged with nasty comments, there's no need...

So I guess no final decision has been made as to the basing of the Chinooks.  You'd think from a common sense point of veiw they'd give 4 to each brigade and to Gagetown...  but perhaps there's other issues I have not thought of...

I am of the understanding that the Chinooks were to be split evenly, 8 in Edmonton and 8 in Petawawa.....  not sure if this is still the case???  does anyone know??

That sound more along the lines of what I was thinking.  However, we could just set up a training component at Little Rock AFB to train our Herc crews.  Does anyone know where the C17 training will be conducted in the future, will it still be Altus AFB OK????

It is already in use in active duty F15C and the F22A....  Very sweet piece of kit......

So does this mean we will have civilian pilots flying our C130 and CH47s to train our crews???  Will the civilian company use it's own aircraft.  Sounds odd....

As I just stated in another thread, I do not come on here too much anymore.   This site, I thought, was to discuss issues and capabilities with other military folks, yet if you say anything out of the ordinary, or you ask a question about something it is not too long before George Wallice comes...

Why would it matter if someone wanted their account deleted.  If they ask delete it.  Myself, I do not see it as a big deal.  Myself, I do not come on too much anymore, or post much....  Nice to read stuff once in  awhile though...

It is just my opinion that perhaps NATO has run it's course.  Yes I understand your point GM about belonging to big worldwide orgs, we do get alot out of it, but perhaps we could start a new alliance of like minded english nations.  Perhaps our ways, values have diverged from Europe.  I spent 3...

I know, however I am stating we should go father and formally pull out after all is said and done!!!  The world has changed, alliances change, that's history...  but this is an argument for a diff thread.....RIP :cdn: :cdn: :cdn: :cdn: :cdn: :cdn:

ER, Thank you for the link, I will tell them when I get home this evening...

I would like to see NATO disolved, it has out lived its purpose.  We should ahve a new alliance, Canada, UK, USA, Australia and NZ..... :cdn:

I will NEVER watch CTV NEWSNET again!!!  I watched todays announcement about the loss of our Canadian soldiers on CTV NN, right after the report of our loss they flashed to ejackulayton with his BS.  CTV gave him free air time, no questions, the cowardly reports asked the twit nothing. RIP...

As an Air Defence officer I think the best fighter to replace our F18 fleet would be the F22.  It has the range, speed, weapons capability, ISAR/data link capability we need, but it's price tag is too much.  The F35A fighter variant is most likey what we'll get.  The number I have heard is 80...

Question GM, You C17 folks in Altus getting any support from my old unit, Canadian Component in Tinker AFB????

Revolutionist Communist Party????  Notice how they never comment on the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan!!!!!! ::) ::)

OK, Thanks......

CADPAT and wedge, always looked goofy.  Flt suit and beret is not too bad.  When I was down in Tinker AFB on exchange we'd wear our beret with flt suit.  With our darkened sqn patches and the beret the Americans thought we were AF SOF types.... ;D I was led to believe that the flt suit/beret...

I know 1 Wg is not broken, they do a great job.  My whole point is/was, if we trimmed a few bases/Wings, could we free up $$ for other things??  Consolidate/Reduce infurstucture, more $$ for ops.  Perhaps if we looked at how we do business we could come up with some more money....  that's...

The cost to close the base would be high I am sure but it would be a 1 time cost.  The college in town has expressed an interest in taking over the base.  With North Bay closed, the MIR would shut down, the docs & medics could be relocated to other units that need them, CE would close, the MPs. ...
