    That is adorable that you think he is going to leave the White House over a minor issue like an election…

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    You imagine too small, my internet friend! I want aerobatics! ;)

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Agreed. The aircraft interior does not have to be gold plated, but is it too much to ask that it be clean, functional and modern?

    CAF Member Arrested and Charged Relating to Foreign Interference

    That seems entirely likely that if he committed an act requiring a remedial measure and that act was in the classified arena, the remedial measure would have to be classified. Would not be the first time an accused has been economical with the truth when talking to the media.

    It probably costs more to have the nuage chaise removed. So, naturally, we will.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    I hear you about recency bias. On the one hand, the arctic is really big, so having something bigger and faster than a Twin Otter would be nice. On the other hand, there are very few aircraft that have the same rough field performance and the ability to operate with such a low logistical tail...

    That is interesting, because I cannot think of a better aircraft for rough field operations, up north. Open to hearing about COAs.

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    I looked at their establishment a few years ago- it wasn't much smaller than a gun Sqn.

    It is a wee bit more than a “few dozen techs”….

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    We’ve actually used Challengers to move aircrew across Canada (nothing saying you can’t ask for them. Sometimes it works!). They are comfy, but very tight. I am told (anecdotally, of course) that a surf board is a tight squeeze… Globals would be a nice upgrade.

    RCN sailor found and rescued

    My understanding is that the boat coxswain went overboard…taking with him the kill switch. Therefore, anybody left in the boat can no longer drive the boat. Given the weather conditions of the day (windy) and the normal swirling currents in that area, anyone in the water would very quickly be...

    RCN sailor found and rescued

    I’ve done diver deployments in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It is a very lonely feeling when the helicopter flies even a 1/4 NM away to come around for the pickup approach after dropping you…

    RCN sailor found and rescued

    Good FLIR video from the Kingfisher. https://cheknews.ca/sailor-rescued-after-falling-overboard-near-bentinck-island-in-major-multi-agency-search-1293660/ Yes, that is a Cyclone in the hover over the sailor. Great work by the crew from Pat Bay to knock off a training mission and switch into...
