Well aware. Painfully, daily, well aware….

I think there is pay protection on a CT, no?

More or less money than a bespoke 295 fleet?

The SAR community has a bias toward doing mountain valley searches, which are a tonne of fun, I grant you. Not that we are going back in time anymore, but an all C130J fleet (even if it was too much aircraft for some scenarios) would have been nice. I wonder if we could have hung a sensor pod...

How about a Korean, Polish or Romanian yard? Not one of the allies had spare yard space?

Additional C-130Js would have been so much easier…. Yeah- I get it: no sensors. But, still…

What do you think we are doing? Do think we are all fucking stupid? I can assure you that everyone I know is working. Flat out.

Far from it. But, having instructed both at the OTU and the Nav School level for half a decade, I have a bit of clue about some of the complexities involved in aircrew training. Some of the problem has been a reluctance to invest in modern training devices. Thankfully, that is starting to go...

In a world where kill switches are being found by the Danes and the Swedes in chinese built buses and the Israelis found spyware in their chinese built electric cars, BC ferries “brilliant” plan is to let China build ferries?

We are already Bombardier’s bitch…

“If”.

“Could”. Minus the F35 jobs we would lose, right?

I had read the contrary- they had not been tested. It is, apparently, difficult to nose swab a 300 lb bird with 4 inch talons…

It is a head of State visit. That is GG territory.
