The latest on the FE/AES Op/SAR Tech occupation restructure...

My personal vote for a potential a Snowbird replacement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUdHAx6gZqg&hd=1 Slick.  ;)    And the fuel savings would allow us to have a 30-ship demonstration team!

Speaking of CF mascots, I'm not sure if anyone was previously aware of one of Naden's original mascots "Bruno the Bear". http://www.navalandmilitarymuseum.org/resource_pages/chars/naden_bear.html

Hi Dragon Fly, Echoing cdnaviator's comments, it would be beneficial for yourself and others looking to join the AES Op trade if you post your questions here.  There's about half-a-dozen AES Ops with various backgrounds and experience here on the board (myself included). In your search for...

Air fleet on guard for thee ... sort of THE CANADIAN PRESS - 3rd June 2009 http://www.calgarysun.com/news/canada/2009/06/03/9658266-sun.html Funny, I can't think of single day in the last two years that we've had nine serviceable Auroras.  ???

Although I'm not an aviation history buff, I was quite surprised to stumble across the untold story of the popular Tupolev TU-164. http://www.weathergraphics.com/tim/fisher/ ... If Bombardier could get licensing to manufacture these it might spur an otherwise faltering bizjet sector.

CANADIAN AIR FORCE AURORA HELPS NAB DRUG SMUGGLING SUB By Dave ********  This bust took place on Jan. 15 but this news release just came out today (better late than never): ESQUIMALT, B.C. - A Canadian Air Force CP-140 Aurora long-range patrol aircraft based at 19 Wing Comox, B.C. has...

My spies in RUMINT (ZX) have heard that Blk III has been postponed for another year.  :'(  I just don't know how much more of this good news I can take! Anyone have any concrete details confirming/squashing such news?

I dunno...  I'm still thinking if you're going to be throwing rocks around that part of town you're more likely to bean a Goler before the rock hits the Needs store. I'll put my theory to test next time I'm out there for an OMS session.

An apple tree or a Goler.  (Perhaps both with the same rock if the Goler is sitting under the tree!)  ;D

The #1 reason the YXX Airshow sucked this year: No "Super-Fun-Happy-Time" JASDF Aircraft attendees.

More good news...   :( http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080508.wdrones08/BNStory/Afghanistan/home

I caught the first two episodes last night... and really enjoyed them.  Its definitely not the usual flag-waving, pro-Navy documentary that one's used to seeing about USN CVNs.  It was quite refreshing to see it focussing on the people and their stories vs the usual shows only centered around...

lol    I was wondering why CDN Aviator's been staring at me all day... it was starting to make me uncomfortable... And, just for the record, I made that post during my lunch hour! Anyway... if we could all get back to the subject topic... 

Yeah, I know for a fact that's the policy on the AF forage cap.  Just as well... one less thing to pack/carry around on deployments. I went through two of them when I was in the Navy... the white top turns yellowy-brown in no time.  I now use one as a spittoon (or want to anyway), and let my...

It appears our head-dress options are diminishing... not only was the forage cap missing from my catalogue, but so was my turban!! 

Had I known this topic was going to generate such a heated debate I would have originally made the post asking "so what's the deal with those leg pen pockets?"  But as for that issue I think we can all agree on one thing... use them... or don't... nobody's going to get grief for NOT having a...

Just heard that starting this month, a select few persons in 17 Wing Winnipeg, 15 Wing Moose Jaw, and 3CFFTS Southport will be trialling a new version of the flying suit and jacket. Looks like the design is trying to bring us in line with the style currently worn by our US/UK/Aussie/NZ...
