The blue boats! I have fond memories of sailing across to my ship on these blue boats as I left for deployment.

Protecteur was my home in 1999 and 2000. I enjoyed sailing her; large, steady, and a hard working friendly crew. The hangar was massive. I feel sad knowing she may never sail under her own power again. I feel a full page of RCN history is about to turn as we loose another West Coast ship is...

We now know that 8Wing submitted their people's PiL documentation between 20 April and June. I can't imagine how peeved those that submitted on day one must feel. That means that at least half of the 8000 remaining files to process are from Trenton. :brickwall: For an air force base I would...

:cheers: Good on them! I hope they get a Bravo Zulu. It's hard to know when to step in sometimes.

Well, it's 0700 in the search area and Success is on station. We should have something definitive in the next few hours.

Does anyone know if 407 sent an aircraft? CTV just showed a video of the search and there were 2 Canadians wearing 407 Sqn patches and it was inside an Orion/Aurora.

If they come thru Trenton, I have already volunteered to be part of the bearer party. While they weren't military they were over there trying to make life better for the locals, much like we were. It's only fair they are treated with honour for their contribution and sacrifice. Let's face it...

The book is called "Milestones" in English. The Arabic name is Ma'alim fi al-Tariq, or Ma'alim fi'l-tareeq. Written in the mid 1960s by and Egyptian named Sayyid Qutb. It lays out a plan for converting the entire planet to the cult of islam. It retranslates many of the Hadith to his own twisted...

Great idea Boris. It was a book that set off this whole radical perversion of Islam in the first place; it seems that another book may close the chapter on this madness.

Not anymore. The cutbacks have been felt even there. It's too bad because it was the best in the CF. Now it's just like all the others.

Here here! :goodpost:

I've been a technician for 30 years on many different aircraft types. While I can't speak specifically to the B777 I can tell you I've never seen an aircraft where the pilot has access to every Circuit Breaker (CB).  There are some systems that the engineers didn't want pilots messing with...

What can I say; Trenton has a different way of doing things. I've been here 3 years, 11 months, and 22 days and I still haven't gotten used to their ways.

While it looks great and there is an opportunity for a deal here the timing is off. We just don't have the cash.

For the members who belong to bases that mass submitted at the very end, these updates are amazing. With only 8 thousand file left the team must be getting excited.

I have 2 favourites. The Corsair F4U and the Lancaster BII. (basically a Lanc with Hercules engines.)

You know, whenever there is a slow news week they go digging for dirt on their favourite kick bag... DND. What really sucks is even if there is only one person doing something wrong we all get painted with the same brush of guilt. When I first joined 3 decades ago there was some racism. Then...

This is how the North American media sells papers/adds/commercials/etc. There is no more journalistic integrity. My Wife has a degree in journalism and she's a visible minority. She's the first to attack such dribble at the hands of the MSM. For the record, if I ever suspected anyone in my...

And there we have it. The conspiracy freaks are on it now. Those "chemtrails" as you call them are an anti-icing additive called 100ad. It allows jets to fly higher; nothing else. Get over it!
