Does anyone know when HDW is going to start seatrials?  I t must be coming up very soon.

I say make it rye and ginger.  That's about as Canadian a cocktail as any.

Pusser - I think you should change your name to Sour Pusser.  Or, Sourer Pusser.  Or, Our Sourest Pusser.  "Lighten up Francis!"  From Uncle Hulka, Our Big Toe!

The article says "four" aircraft.  I thought they had five altogether.  Six were originally purchased and one was destroyed by fire after being shot at.

Does anyone know how many have been delivered so far and how many of the older "H" models have been retired?

Wow - my heart is racing.  This was the first place that I read about this.  I only know of him through the HBO series which I have watched several times.  I think I will read his book now.

Aren't we supposed to be taking delivery of some of these this month?  Can't recall the exact figure but a dozen rings a bell.  Does anyone know if we are close to seeing the first of these?

That was the best thing I've read in a while!  I hope you have more and plan on posting it here. It's funny about listening to Newfie's talk when there's a group of them around...I am born and raised in Southern Ontario-half of my life in the GTA and the second half in Niagara but my family is...

I like the site as well but I think a lot of contributors here think they are a little off the mark for many of the proposals they made.  They wanted the Air Force to buy Russian cargo planes for instance.  They did not support the decision to buy C-17's - too expensive. But I used the site as...

Over the last few weeks I have not been able to go to www.casr.ca.  At first my MacBook was telling me that this site has been infected by a virus.  Now, it seems that this url has disappeared completely.  Does anyone have any info on what happened to this site?

What happens to these aircraft as soon as they are received by the AF?  Do they undergo a period of testing before they are able to fly their first mission?  I haven't read that 601 was used operationally yet.

First flight for our first CC-130J: www.cc130j.ca

I was hoping that since we live in an age of digital cameras and the internet that I would have seen a photo of it by now. We have been waiting since Brian Mulroney was in power to see a replacement for the Sea King.

I watched and liked it as well.  It's funny you say there was infantry involved.  I thought , from the show, that it was strictly a tank and artillery battle.

Eye In the Sky, Since I posted that request for more info I saw The Agenda with Steve Paikin last night on TVO.  Vice Admiral Dean McFadden was being interviewed on there and he stated that Canada would receive its first Cyclone before the end of this year.  So that means in the next two...

Here are some links to follow regarding the awarding of this contract.  It looks like 12 ships became ten and eventually nine.  It does not say if the capabilities were reduced to stay within budget...

So has the deliveries of the MilCOTs already started or are these prototypes that we are seeing.

Dumbest thing I heard today?  That the government is going to start handing out cash it doesn't have to stem the tide of a global recession.  Wasn't it Floyd Laughren who said that he intended to spend his way out of the recession?

I was trying to find photos for it as well and couldn't.  So then I thought that I would just try to find the video for it.  Usually some news organization has a camera crew at these announcements but I couldn't find a thing.  If anyone has a link to the MND making this announcement on video...

I think Zoomie has said very clearly everything that needs to be said about the future of C-130E/H's and Buffalos.  There are plans in place to replace them and once that is done the military/government can turn its attention to some other procurement issue.  We don't need to build a "Made in...
