Rogers holds the rights to hockey in Canada. Rogers is broadcasting thru Sportsnet, a Rogers company.

No “he” doesn’t. However the USA does have an enormous naval base in San Diego. He couldn’t give a sh*t about the navy nor any democrat state or city. Biden made sure Trump didn’t get a chance to name a carrier. When (if) Trump gets a name on the Battleships (vapourware) then he might feel more...

I was in HQ at least once a week; never forget the call to come in on the weekend during the Mississauga train derailment.

2nd photo is Bandage 1 that was stationed at Buttonville airport. The helipad was unique in that it traversed into the hangar. During my 1st full time job I delivered oxygen (Luxfor aluminum) cylinders there as well as Metro ambulance HQ. The bus shown was built by OBI in Mississauga which was...

USS Lincoln expected to reach San Diego on Thursday after making a stop in Guam https://www.10news.com/news/local-news/uss-abraham-lincoln-carrier-expected-to-return-to-san-diego-area-thursday

To quote the famous philosopher, Forest Gump “stupid is as stupid does”.

Agree with your assessment. From talking with people in my neighborhood, they haven’t a clue about either aircraft other than one is American and the other is not. Many will say f#$k Trump, don’t buy the F35. The only other thing they now about the airforce is that the Snowbirds are losing their...

C3 posting is click bait. California was never an option for Starship. Yes, Spacex started in California because that is a major centre for engineering. California is where the Falcon 9 rockets and Dragon spacecraft are manufactured. The bulk is shipped to Cape Canaveral Florida where they can...

California was never a suitable launch sight for all but polar orbits (see Vandenberg) or for that matter Starships intended purpose. The land Spacex has acquired in Louisiana could be bought for the price of a few pickup trucks.

I think there is agreement between the left and right that Prime Minister Sox was the worst Canadian Prime Minister since Kim Campbell .

Agreed the average should improve over time as the bugs get worked out. But the F35 average is not improving, “A” version is worsening. According to GAO; Parts ordering and availability are the key drivers of the poor aircraft availability. The industrial base isn’t keeping pace.

The government report is based upon data collected by bean counters. Full mission means that the aircraft is readied to the point that it can perform any mission that it was purchased to perform. For instance, if the mission today is to attack a ground target but the ground tracking mode of the...

We have bought a hanger queen that will bleed the RCAF dry. From GAO report: Figure 5: F-35 Full Mission Capable Rates by Service/Variant, Fiscal Years 2020-2025 Note: The full mission capable rate assesses only aircraft that are in the possession of F-35 units. It measures the percentage of time

Has anyone heard more about Trump redesigning the F-35 with 2 engines?

Past Gripen availability is 80 - 90%, which should be a reasonable indicator of expected availability of E model. As for F-35, note my reply to Eaglelord (nice handle).

USAF F-35A Availability continues to plummet, 2025 hit a new low of 28.5%. The target is supposed to be 65-80%. It’s comparable to buying an Italian supercar; great performance if you can get it out of the mechanic’s garage.

Wow. Boeing has landed the Navy FA-XX in addition to the F-47. https://www.defensenews.com/industry/techwatch/2026/09/29/us-navy-selects-boeing-to-build-next-generation-fa-xx-fighter/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dfn-breaking

You mistake Trump and his buddies for people who give a damn about Americans. They don’t and probably never have cared. All that matters to the super rich is how to get richer. Laws don’t matter. The citizens don’t matter.

If you’re not a white straight male ass kisser (yah oxymoron) then you’re gone.

Since Australia has more experience with the F-35, we should follow their lead and ship them to Hong Kong. The Chinese probably would service it faster than Missing Parts Lockheed.
