Probably not but it would make a good rumour.

There have got to be rumours. >:D Announcements, Press releases, statements and such are so boring.

This is off topic but is another story of SISIPs ways of avoiding to provide benefits. I had a problem with SISIP that never did get resolved. When I was released I wasn't aware that I was entitled to benefits from SISIP. By the time that I discovered that I could get the benefits the 180 day...

Back then it was RCAF Stn. Trenton.

I've been doing some reading on a quasi technical site about Chinooks and indeed they have changed the look of many components since my time on Hooks. Hopefully under all of the grey paint on the transmission cases  which used to be yellow there are some really good and much improved gears...

Good grief! I've never in my whole life seen a conversation with so many acronyms.  In fact I couldn't even %@&!*# spell the word to make this post. :-[ What ever you guys do don't talk like this around your family or they'll think that the military has programed you into something that can no...

The rotors doing their little hop is a rotorerection. I've still got my rag that's soaked with a mixture of jet fuel, oil and hydraulic fluid. Works for me. >:D

G2G. You could build a sim if you have a good sound system.  Move your washing machine into the living room, put a couple of cinder blocks in it, select spin dry and crank  "er up. I would love to experience all of the sounds and smells of a hook again. This retirement thing isn't all that it's...

I suspect that he's grinnin from ear to ear. ;D

Scarey. Military activity on the increase in London. :warstory:

Ref Chinooks. There isn't much roaring or screaming going on these days. Not even a whisper.  :-X

In reality we don't have a coast guard. We have a few buoy tenders, ice breakers, fisheries research and hydrographic vessels and a fleet of assorted rescue boats all painted red and white that someone dubbed the coast guard. They go about their business of looking after buoys, keeping shipping...

Right on.  Put the force back into air force.

It's not a great idea to put all of your eggs in one basket. Just imagine the problems that could be created if all of your helicopters developed the same major problem at the same time. Something like a structural failure that required an immediate fix involving a lot of engineering and work...

The notification is interesting but brief. Now if someone could fatten the story up with some details we'd all be able to do some speculation.

This is starting to smell bad. Very bad. We're now funding the development of new technology rather than buying helicopters.

Evacuation from there is pretty much a routine event. I saw a clip on the news that there's no plan to move the communities. Doesn't make much sense to leave them there as flooding causes problems with such regularity but who knows. I've been up there and most of the land is very low and it's...

Who are these people?

They're sort of lean on spare engines. Two for Six helicopters. OldSolduer: It's easy to build a simulator for PRes passengers. Just take a sea container and build bench seats on either side. If you want to really enhance the simulation cut some round window holes, pour hydraulic fluid on the...
