The Golden ‘White House’, Golden Dome and now the Golden Fleet. Where’s Gold Member ? At the 2min mark the Admiral could have been talking about Constellation class before Navsea decided to change everything. 2:26 Halifax class centre screen.

The advantage of our new tankers is that they can transfer fuel using both methods and thus support a broader selection of aircraft making them useful for both NORAD and NATO. And the A330 booms work unlike the KC46.

It helps both SAAB & L3 , but SAAB has been bending over backwards to get Canadas attention. L3 Phoenix system will be a harder sell to Canada or Europe since it’s Israeli and American. Not sure why you believe that the roof (upper fuselage) is the only place for a “receptacle’ unless you’re...

Looks like the government is giving SAAB a hand to securing the AEWC contract with funding Bombardier to look at air to air refueling. https://skiesmag.com/news/rcaf-to-acquire-six-bombardier-global-6500-multi-role-aircraft/ The RCAF will also seek air-to-air refueling to extend the range, a...

From USNI news: Korea Submarine Update On Wednesday, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung said the Republic of Korea Navy wants to build its planned fleet of nuclear-powered attack boats at home rather than in the U.S. Speaking to foreign reporters in Seoul, Lee affirmed comments last month...

From the journal 4 Domes were fabricated: Windsor , Corner Brook, Victoria and 1 spare.

The fact that most of our fleets are viewed as antiques certainly doesn’t help. The RCAF is trying to attract recruits in their 20’s to fly aircraft that are in their 30’s or older. Good grief. The same can be said about the navy and army. We don’t even have enough housing for the current...
