"Mav's in trouble. He’s in a flat spin, he’s heading out to sea." Seriously though, the demo bird looks really good this year. Kudos to the team that designed and painted it.

Thanks for the input guys. Fiction, non-fiction, even that thesis... all of it looks good. After a few Google searches I've realized that finding some of these titles might take a little work... $35-$40 for a "used" paperback is steep. :oops: On the plus side, while adding "Cold War Fighters...

I'm wondering if anyone here can point me in the direction of some good reading about Canada's involvement in the Cold War. I'm fascinated by that entire era and the sometimes razor's edge dynamics of it, particularly over in Europe, but I'll admit I really don't know a lot about Canada's...

If the F/A-18 became the (C)F-18(8), and the C-17 became the (C)C-17(7), I'd think they'd go with CF-355 for the JSF. The Gripen is a little more complicated... "JAS" is the Swedish acronym for Fighter/Strike/Recce. (Nevermind that gripen is Swedish for griffin.) So a JAS 39 would technically...

The airframe has been recovered: The Wreck Of A Crashed British F-35 Has Been Pulled Out Of The Mediterranean

According to the CBC article: So, whatever the issue is, it's a relatively simple fix. Something they can do in "the next few days" isn't reengineering anything... they're just replacing a cracked part with a non-cracked part. Will the fix be permanent? Or will the new parts just have to be...

The first C-295 that will eventually end up in Canada flew for the first time yesterday: https://twitter.com/Rotorfocus/status/1147141664638668802

Wasn't this simply a case of the RAF desperately trying to prove their worth, thus preventing further budget cuts?

Forgive what may sound like a dumb question coming from a civilian... But I'm really curious what the driving dynamic of a LAV III (or really, any 6 or 8 wheels APC) is. For example, is it more a big rig/truck-like experience, multiplied by many more tonnes? Or like driving a tank but on tires...

Another ECS failure in a Growler this time: Complete article: http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/18762/freezing-navy-ea-18g-crew-in-ice-filled-cockpit-navigated-home-using-their-smart-watches

Who's currently offloading their old kites to buy new kites?

Dorsal CFTs are hideous.  :not-again:

Came across this yesterday... Capt. Kirk Leuty - Tiger 21 Six minute demo flight: https://youtu.be/5XrD9LA2iKw?t=9m40s

And now Boeing is lobbying the Trump administration to impose a 126% trade tariff on aircraft imports to effectively kill the CSeries sale to Delta. Since our government now has a stake in the success of the CSeries, it would be a little bit of a conflict of interest (I can't think of the actual...

Looks like Trump and Trudeau may get along just fine... https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/812061677160202240

Back on topic of the CF-188 replacement: Aircrew Injured During Ground Aircraft Emergency; Naval Air Forces Declares Operational Pause for Super Hornet and Growler Fleet

When I do a Search here on the forum I get: However, yes, Google did turn up the moved thread. Cheers.

There used to be 4 pinned threads in this forum... one of which was the JSF thread going back however many years. Has it been deleted? Or moved? I only see 3 pinned threads now: FWSAR, CF-188, and C-130J. ???

Is this the same Alan Williams that said: How reassuring to know that people in suits sitting comfortably in offices are there to "protect" those that serve and put their lives on the line.
