No. These guys are on TD and not on Att Posting so they do not get any support from CFSU or other out-CAN units. No real need. They're supported by their home unit for admin.

Altus until further notice.

Still some legal and bureaucratic hoop jumping to be done and also a little bit of testing that can only be done at home in Canada. This first mission will happen very quickly .... there is a lot of pressure to get it done. You'll all know when it actually happens since I'm sure there'll be...

LMAO!!!  ;D You "know" too much about me Green On!! Too funny ..... (damn that Ryan guy ....)  ;)

#3 and #4 will be delivered Mar and Apr of '08. More detailed info and discussion on kit etc ... located here ....... http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/54089.0.html Yup, they sure do look purdy!! ;D Cheers

At the assembly plant in Long Beach, California.

First arrival flight is 9 Aug into Trenton. OPSEC - can't say when the first mission will be.

Here we go. It's just about ready to come off the back end of the paint line ... For those in the Trenton area it is still scheduled for arrival on 9 August.

A CC177 aircrew update … Well folks it seems to have been quiet lately, but things are progressing relatively well with the training of the first few crews. The first phase of the initial cadre is about to return home from their “imbedded” training with the USAF out at McChord AFB...

G2G: Thanks for posting the CADORS link - that was a good read. Some nice approach planning by the crew - they set themselves up (even though they had a 1/2 mile reported ground vis) for a CAT I approach with an RVR of 600 feet and a vertical vis of 500 feet.  Interesting.  There's an approach...

No. Order of dress on CF flight suits is detailed in 1 Cdn Air Div Orders, Vol 1, article 1-006.  Fighter Squadrons wear US style nomex flight suits and the orders surrounding the wear, use and badging of those flight suits is spelled out in 1,006 Annex B. That being said, as Inch mentioned...

ark: You can only squash and mash so much fresh meat into the front of the sausage machine at any given time.  We simply do not have the infrastructure to train pilots any faster than the current pace that we are jamming the meat through the machine at this moment.  It is not ideal, but it is...

Yes, so far so good ...... Aug and Oct for the first two.

Hey fellas: I was down in Fort Polk, Louisianna one year on JRTC (about 1998 or so) and I was doing a "runner" .... one of the poor saps selected at the end of an 18 hour crew day to be the "downed aircrew" and to go for a run for 24 hours through louisanna swamp land. I did everything...

As does the USAF ...... you know come to think of it ... are we (Canada) the only one's who wear two different badges, one for the name and one for the wings??  Just wondering.

The pilot trade is desperate for pilots .... period. Like many other CF trades attrition last year was higher than expected and attrition this year looks to be as bad. The economy is good right now and many of the guy/gals are releasing at the end of their SSE and IE with some very nice...

Woohooo .............  :D I guess I win ...... 174 feet long, with a circumference of about 95 feet and weighing in at 585,000 lbs. Hello ladies!!!!!  ;D Size matters.  ;D

Tough to say which we would "use" more. We desperately need both. Augmenting one at the expense of the other would really be a "robbing from Peter to pay Paul" scenario. The CC-130E/H fleet has basically all but "imploded" now.  Current Ops are draining what little useful airframe hours are...

So far there are no plans for changes to the two projects. ACP-S has one pot of money for the C-17. ACP-T has another pot of money for the C-130J. Both projects have different staffs within DAR and also different teams at PMO. So far the numbers of aircraft are set. 4 x C-17 17 x C-130J I...
