Remind me Baz, it's been a few years since I was in YAW...which building was built for SCTF?

Anyone know if the CADPAT and flight suit ranks are changing to the new DEU style as well? Or will operational dress stick with the dark blue embroidery?

A more relevant comparison would be squadron manning ie. how many bodies does each LCol lead?

Sold!

Price drop. Now $900 OBO plus shipping. Make an offer! I realize this is a significant financial investment so I'd be willing to discuss an installment and payment plan to ease the pinch on the buyer.

This is an increasingly rare Royal Canadian Air Force Waltham WWII-era 6B/150 wristwatch with period-correct replacement canvas olive strap. Case appears to be stainless steel with original (large) stem.  These watches were service redialled in the early-1960s to be marked with RCAF on the face...

Found this job posting on the net: https://www.careerbeacon.com/Posting/447255?catsid=3&scol=rel&sdir=DESC Anyone have some insight? And no, I'm not looking for a job! ;D

Years ago, I went the rotary route with a similar amount of hours on the Musketeer and Tutor. After a few years of flying the Sea King, I scraped up some money and showed up at the (now-extinct) Shearwater Flying Club. As a CF-winged pilot, I met all of the requirements for experience but lacked...

The RCAF is scavenging Herc parts out of the museum in Trenton and more budget cuts are coming. Don't give them (the RCN) any ideas! ;)

I recall a time, not so long ago, when almost all the Shearwater NCM aircrew (ie AESOps) came from the Combat Arms. Hmmm....... :nod:

It can be bad when you learn it incorrectly. If you go into PFT with a pre-conceived belief that you know something only to discover you're wrong, it will take time on course to un-learn it. And that's time you don't have. Like others that have some knowledge of the process, I suggest you...

Perhaps you're confusing the old school RCN jacket pictured above with the new RCAF jacket? In addition to squadron and ship badges, putting cruise patches on the back is/was a very USN thing to do. In the case of LCdr Cantlie's jacket, I would venture to guess that he probably either served in...

Nice work! Been spreading the word amongst my fellow retirees. Great to see a pilot's forum come back to life.

SKT nailed it. Here's a RCN G1, based on the classic USN G1. Put this jacket into service and there'll be line ups into the CANEX parking lot.  ;D

Advertising fail. Three observations: 1. Sideburns. Yeah, it's chair force, but c'mon. At least pick a 'model' with a regulation hairdo. 2. Hat. For the love of god, couldn't they put his wedge on straight before taking the picture? 3. Cap badge. Not sure what it is (Log maybe?) but it sure...

I'm the owner of Iltis 86419, a vehicle that spent the bulk of its life in Winnipeg with 2PPCLI. Looking for any photos or recollections anyone might have of the Iltis in service specifically with 2VP. While generally an Iltis is an Iltis, I'm trying to pinpoint battalion-specific details such...

Ahh, the good old days...of conducting air/helo ops, RAS and weapon firing in nothing but your boots and swim trunks!  How times have changed.    :nod: Great video1

Any mention of what those changes might be, or which buttons and/or bows?  The funny thing with uniforms is that changes start with minor tinkering but usually take on a life of their own.  I'd be curious to hear what the dress empire might have in store. I now return you to your...

I have more than a few hours in the logbook with Bill sitting beside me.  Great to see him getting the recognition he deserves.

At the risk of reviving a dead thread, I'd like to add that the situation for PhII(G) in Portage has changed.  In the past, students had the option to be posted in to 3CFFTS but that is not the case as of last summer.  Too frequently, students were being posted without sufficient time to...
