I think I need to include descriptions of the subjects within each photo so that what they are is clear for everyone.  :nod: Just to be clear - what was once Top Aces is now Discovery Air Defence Services, or DADS. CC-150T Polaris Tanker which was used to refuel CF-18's during period 1. ...

Singapore F-15SE kicking it into the vertical after doing a touch and go this morning...long live jet noise.

Air Combat Manoeuvring Instrumentation (ACMI) It's got fluorescent orange wrapping on it to easily id red air assets.

Red Air CF-18's from 409 TFS

A few more from a busy couple of days.. And a teaser of what's to come....

I'm sorry, but that sounds like a load of horse poop.  In an earlier post I admitted that I was wrong regarding the offering of industrial benefits and that SAAB had offered a significant package to a potential buyer - why couldn't they do the same for Canada? As well, how exactly does SAAB...

Thanks much, and ya, you'll see more...

From today...man, I hate editing on my laptop without Lightroom.... And a different take on a Belgian heavy...

RIP to all involved, and condolences to their families. http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2013/05/31/ornge_helicopter_crashes_in_northern_ontario.html Title changed for clarity

Once in a while you see a comment that makes you go....huh?  This would be it. :) I really want to attach the user to a certain political party and who has been let lose by his handlers....but I digress. Definition of a hero/heroine -- a man or woman of distinguished courage or ability...

Must be an old graphic as the cost of an F-35A is currently at about $120M, not $150M as outlined. Some more recent news regarding the software blocks and their expected delivery dates... At least he's being realistic.  So by the end of this year they'll have completed flight tests for Block...

Every single point that someone tries to raise in here regarding the F-35 and the perceived problems it may have are proven to be factually incorrect.  That even goes for the cost of the aircraft, which people still think is twice as high as the Super Hornet. Along with that, trying to look...

So while the money may not be there for other things, the equipment budget will still stand. I don't get it, why all this speculation over something that won't be known until the Typhoons are retired in 2030?

Oh...so you're believing this is another de facto cancellation, correct?

That's of the -B variant, and then they intend to fill the remainder of the 138 aircraft with the -A variant once the Typhoon is out of service.

I'm sorry...when was the F-35 removed from the competition? Right....that's what I thought. When it's selected, are you going to then state that the government did a 180 and is now in favour of the acquisition after they made their decision to evaluate options which, in your terms, was a de...

Thanks for the accurate numbers. :salute:

Everything that you state is the complete oppose of the information I posted above from the DOD - NOT Lockheed.

Way cheaper...in what sense? And the F-35 will be able to communicate in the arctic...heesh. Going by a video?  Sorry...but that doesn't help your argument.
