I have worked on both and would say Military Aircraft maintenance is good but allowable defects is much more forgiving on military aircraft then civilian. My experience on military aircraft leaking hydraulic fluid can be allowed. On Civilian commercial aircraft not allowed. Both maintain a high...

Maintenance records, manufacturing standards are different, tolerances are different and allowable defects are different for a simple explanation. What Coulson has done in the past is tear down the airframes and update, fix and repair everything that can be done to update to the highest standards.

That is awesome news for everyone involved. Sets the tone going forward on Military Aircraft being used in Canada for Civil Aviation.

Depends on what part of BC and SK you go to. Many I know from the island and Northern BC like Alberta to the point they work there regularly. Without that work they wouldn't be able to sustain their lifestyle they have grown accustomed to. Most of the people I have had conversations with from...

I wonder what the Chery Point Spill response is or compared to Vancouver Harbor? All this Congressman is trying to do is delay our access to other markets. Nothing more and nothing less. The spill response for the area has already been discussed years ago during the original proposal. Any...

Canada has a large capability to deal with Cryogenic products. The Medical field, Manufacturing, Mining, Oil and Gas industries all deal with same and or similar products on a daily bases. Shipping in quantity's by rail, aircraft, boat or truck is already figured out. Transferring from each of...

Guns lots of A/D guns Cheap and easy compared to missiles.

I don't have no cpap machine, nor do my friends have them or mental health tags. The majority if not all of my military friends would look forward to defending our Country on our ground for once. They would not want to fight our neighbors and good friends to the south. That only hinges on if...

Not sure why Canada has not started to charge the US for all the pollution coming from them into the north. But this it starting to feel like a pre text to a hostile take over. He is still pushing to annex Greenland and Canada. I am all for Canada working on building a Nuclear, biological and...

T The last A+ were used by one of the Reserve Sustainment units out of Mirimar and flew the last one in 2024. I thought they were still flying them. I remember they had pulled some of their low hour A/C/D models out of the yard to help when the F35 was not delivered on time. There was a bit...

I guess their last flight was 2024 for the A+ model.

I understand they still have a few A+ models flying. A couple of years ago they went though the older models with lower hours to make it through to 2030.

Interesting read on that matter. The door is still open just for private and exceptional circumstances for commercial uses. It will also be interesting to see what the US and Mexico do also as they are all tied into similar programs.

Coulson Aviation says give us one and we will figure it out.

Lots of people either glossed over or never knew that Canada was not actually trying to replace the F18 with the F35. There was possibly a interim fighter replacement, that could carry over into the 6th and even 7th gen programs. A multi role jet that could do a it of everything especially carry...

My MP gets back to me with in a day or two max. Even if it is the generic reply we are looking into things. Then they usually call and or send a emailed and or a letter response within week with the answer or what they are doing to deal with the matter. Even though there is not much they can do...

For the Oil and Gas workers money money money. The Oil field first starts off slow trying to hire the right people for the right position that is already trained. Reality sets in that you can't hire a safety minded, experienced trained dedicated worker. So you start to throw money at the...

How about we ask for the US's half for the Gordie Howe Bridge and call it even. Most of those industrial offsets were specialized Canadian Companies who made things others did not and or could not.

If it took a Mechanic 10 years to be very competent that means they are not doing very well. Probably looking for a teaching job or joining the military in another trade. Guess that's a win.🤔 I usually see a person by the time they are in their third year doing pretty good and by the time their...

Those are not a specific D9 Cat shop. they are a general heavy duty shop who can work on a variety of equipment including the Cat C9 in the Lavs 6 has installed. The trick is to build an expieranced group of maintainers who are familiar with the equipment, in time of actual war we can use...
