In 12 Wing, as a nod to our Naval roots, every MWO and CWO is referred to as “Chief”. That is likely not representative of what the rest of the RCAF does.

Yeah, because instead of doing our real job of generating combat capable forces to defend Canada, we should definitely look for feel good tasks outside our Constitutional mandate. Perhaps we should also plant trees, pickup garbage and stand around street corners in case some little old lady...

It is also difficult justifying spending time, energy and resources on an activity that is a Provincial Mandate. Yes, I know- the CAF gets called anyway.

So….a spiderman web slinger?

Awesome. Just fucking awesome.

That is an amazing graphic!

Cyberlass, You were unnecessarily flippant (and wrong) about what Sig Ops do for a living. What you do is valuable to the CAF, as well. Just let it go.

They get fed pretty well from what I have seen.

No. Military aircraft maintenance is really good. In many cases better than what civvies do. But. Military aircraft are not always designed the same way as civilian aircraft and militaries don’t keep maintenance records the same way civil operators do (we keep maintenance records- they just...

Coulson could N certify the H models in the US and work them in Canada. But yes, it would be nice if we could get TC over it’s allergy against former mil aircraft.

I keep hearing that 2 more AORs will be ordered in the early 2030s. When we have the fleet size and the crewing available to justify two more.

I don’t. The number “15” for RCDs is not plucked out of thin air. There is real, actual operational research behind it, based upon our operational tasks. For once, let’s do things properly.

Sure, but why would we jump mid-RCD project from a UK based to a German based design? There is nothing in it for us.

But the Type 26 is UK. Why would we switch to German? I think this is aimed at a US shipyard to build Lite Arleigh Burkes for the USN.

But, why would we? It is basically the same capability as a RCD with most of the same gear. Why would we completely change gears?

That totally tracks.

Pedantry: Sea Kings are not S61s. Sea Kings are H3s. They look outwardly similar and have many interchangeable parts but are different machines.
