Perhaps the build could be spread out to other yards like Heddle.

Yes. Command staff are officers and we infamously have no shortage of them, and the E-7 is on the Boeing 737, meaning it would be a shared qualification with the incoming P-8, so even if the AEW&C squadron was short of flight crews, we could easily get replacements on short notice.

The E-7 is large enough to carry command staff and a second flight crew.

Was the F-15 in consideration? Incidentally, we almost bought Iran's F-14s, but they ended negotiations after our involvement in the hostage crisis was leaked (in the long run, we probably dodged a bullet not going with the F-14 given its complexity and maintenance requirements).

That photo has been circulating for at least two years now.

Having Norway give up their spots also delays them replacing their subs, which are as old as ours.

And I've also read the rest of the crew can't ride in it and the solution is to just have them follow along in another vehicle. Not having even a gib is a massive safety liability.

As long as it's not like streets designed by right bastard Robert Moses.

He actually wasn't. He was an RAF intelligence officer, and never served in SAS, SOE, LRDP or any other special forces unit. He was a liason officer with several units for intelligence briefing and debriefing, but that's not the same as going on missions with them. He also claimed to have...

I saw a rumour about the CAF also repurchasing North Bay airport. If true, that would be a strong indicator on where AEW would be based.

So even less parts commonality with the LAV.

Hopefully they increase the order from 500.

Looks a lot like the past of tank transporting.

For the same reason as the Snowbirds, rapidly increasing maintenance costs and dwindling parts. When we have enough F-35s, the team will be stood up again.

We have a CF-18 demonstration team. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CF-18_Demonstration_Team

There's just one problem with that:

Yes.

I don't know what that has to do with the T-7 or other trainer planes.
