    CP-140 Aurora

    Hi all. I remember some time ago on NTV or CBC news here in Newfoundland  that Provincial Airlines or other NL firms were either making planes or surveillance systems for a northern European nation, maybe Sweden, Finland or Denmark for martime concerns. Not sure if it was overfishing, pollution...

    US authorities seize old private F-14 jets

    I think that at least some if not all F-15's the USAF fly also have the tail hooks..again for emergencies. Think I saw it on at least one Eagle at "Earnest Harmon" Air field day here in Stephenville.

    Troops mourn teenaged comrade who insisted: 'I ain't no baby'

    It's funny how most consider 17 a teen/kid...but in WW I and WW II we had 14, 15, 16 year olds going off to war..just proves it's not the age but the commitment or sense of duty, honor, patriotism of  the person not their age. RIP Solider.

    Canada's purchase of the Leopard 2 MBT

    Well the new Leo's still use the C6? Why not use the .50 cal? Tanks use to have them mounted didn't they?  I've only seen the C6 mounted on vehicles etc...is it because the .50 is to use on other vehicles (not on personel) etc and since in the mission in Afghanistan it' s unlikely they will face...

    CF "seducing and preying" upon Canadian Youth - News Clip

    Seeing as how you have to be 18 to join as an adult and if you join the PRes and are under 18 you need your parent's/guardian's signature (at least I did joining the PRes at 17) then if she had a problem with it she shouldn't have given her consent for him to join. And if he did join after he...
