Thanks for reply, so is there any requirement that some of the new FWSAR aircraft to be tanker capable or will Herc tanker's retire without replacement?

Canada operates 6 buffalo's and C-130 in SAR? are 5 of the C-130 also tasked as tankers?

I would like to see Turkey expelled from NATO as well, but if they are expelled they will certainly cozy up to Russia and NATO will lose control of Black Sea strait's.

Denmark has postponed fighter decision finalists are 24 F35 30 Super Hornets or 36 Typhoons.

I hope for more than 10 CSC as well but believe it will be 10 CSC and 5 AOPS, maybe if we get out of submarines or settle for interim AORs on permanent basis we can get a couple more CSC.

Build 10 CSC all to the same design, do not build 3 AAW and 7 ASW, all 10 should be equally able in AAW and ASW. They should be commissioned one per year over 10 years. Order in pairs update design over build period. Each ship should be able to operate two helicopters. Build hulls overseas and...

And $$$ spent on refugees when they should be spending on Army Navy & Air Force, looks likes same old same old for CAF last on the list.

Recondition at SPAR aerospace, some could be plumbed as tankers to replace KC130H's. Reduce fleet types to C130Js & C17s. Delivery almost immediate. BTW Boeing still has one unsold C17 CAF should snap it up ASAP, must be money somewhere with all delays to other programs.

Liberal PM Chretien gave navy choice Upholders or nothing.

Used RAF C130J's? RAF to retire 10 of 24 C130J's, some websites indicate 10 short C130J's will go leaving 14 stretched models in service. Would CAF be interested in 10 used Herc's for FWSAR program?

On a side note UK's review will reduce Herc numbers from 24 to 14, are they likely to retire 10 short fuselage models?, if so they might be a good pick up for FWSAR.

How many are moving into Trudeau's neighbourhood?

Cancel FWSAR use money for more C17's cascade C130j's into SAR role.

What ro/ro ship was irving proposing to rebuild as AOR.

Delay FWSAR use the funds to buy last C17 from Boeing. KC390 to be in production 2018, prototype flying, almost laughable for Canada to insist on quick delivery for 11 year old program. Would make excellent replacement for Canada's KC130 as well.

Has anyone bought the last production C17 yet, IMHO Canada should grab this aircraft if still available.

PM's refugees should be limited to Copts and Yazidis.

FGS Bonn not Bohn IMHO we will be lucky to get 10 CSC.

5 AOPS will be enough, base them all on East coast, likely all that can be built with current budget anyway. Would prefer 6 C-17's and 5 AOPS rather than 6 AOPS and 5 C-17's.  Would love to see Coast guard get three heavy icebreakers, build oilers overseas to save money.  

IMHO 5 AOPS types will be enough leave money in the kitty for more important programs.
