AM does not provide the cleanest broadcast...sure it has range, but it degrades over distance.

Those freqs have very limited range and will require repeaters all over creation...ever notice the proliferation of cell towers...

No

Because we as Westerners are not satisfied with just using a cell phone to just talk...we are slaves to smartphone technology and wanting it to do everything our PCs can. The vast majority of carriers there only provide basic service anyway. They are also subsidized by the national governments.

Hey George....The Sherman outside of J7 has "GW wuz hear" scratched on the hull....your old C/S perhaps?

I suspect the answer would be yes. Run this pass your CoC,  they'll probably help you pack.

Yeah....HB lost sharpness....meh..

By referencing American documents, you're wasting your time. US and Canadian procurments processes are very different. The F model is virtually a brand new iteration of the Chinook...not a modified D...I say again...NOT a modified D airframe. HB....not many of us here are aerospace engineers...

:facepalm: Someone who's never had the pleasure of flying over the Hindu Kush in them no doubt.

Bully for them. What does that have to do with this discussion?

i've been there...waaaay to much nonsense going on there.

My prediction: The F-35 will never see RCAF roundels. It is barely even accepted by the US military. My bet: F/A 18 E/F Super Hornet.

Like I said before...have a look at how the C-17 acquisition was handled....seems like that worked out pretty good.

is there a "like/booyah" button or something for that Journeyman? Well stated.

Thanks G2G. Should be interesting reading.

Yes...but just the gun...no gun crew or ammo, much the same way a Griffon can carry an LG-1 gun...just. CH-147...gun+ crew and pers kit+ammo for a good fire mission over a healthy range.

Yeah...because EVERYONE knows that..... :facepalm:

Interesting that the MND actually stated about the Cyclone..."if and when it is delivered"....doesn't sound promising.

The Brits and the Italians regularly deploy thier Chinooks on 'phibs, and they seem to do well. I don't see them being based on the AORs...just the capablity to land on them to provide fwd re supply for ashore forces. Haiti or Somalia scenarios are what came to mind
