You aren’t doing those host jobs for the money.

Some of those look pretty cool.

Huh. Who would have guessed that decades of playing footsie with the Taliban would cone back to haunt Pakistan…

Whoops. Yeah- that stays with TC and is (to my knowledge) not going to DND.

No no no. The most important factor in a new SPH is that must go 80 Kph!

So much misinformation. Coast Guard and Transport Canada pilots/aircraft are coming under DND, not the CAF on 01 Apr 26. Please understand that CAF and DND are not interchangeable terms. Interestingly, they (CCG) will report to the Deputy Minister and not the MND. I have never seen that before...

It will when Bill C12 passes.

She is, honestly, becoming a menace. I am all for a defence industrial strategy. I am not for trading off defence outputs in exchange for pork barrel politics.

I was there for the bathroom incident. That turned into a long assed day….

Let me fix the last line of your post for you: “Sure, I set your house on fire, but I want credit for dumping a tea cup of water on the still raging inferno…”

Foreign botfarms? Stirring up discord?

And I am pointing out the danger of going full R&D alone. It will not necessarily result in a better Maritime Helicopter outcome than the Cyclone. We aren’t the aviation powerhouse we were in the 1960s and 1970s when we innovated the shit out of that field.

I read it. I am just pointing out the danger of going full R&D, alone.

H175- so another orphan helo to replace an orphan helo? Are you mad?

If you have a celestial almanac with you, you can orient off of the sun . As long as you know GMT, the azimuth of the sun is a known quantity at every point of earth.

At that latitude? Compasses do work that far north (sort of). But you have to be patient. I wonder if they played with other methods of orientation besides Compass and GPS. I dimly remember being taught to orient using a celestial method. I wonder if they brought the books for that along?

Hard grip? I think you would be surprised to the degree that everyone in China is surveilled. Corruption is tolerated as something useful. At any moment, anyone’s (tolerated) corruption scheme can be exposed unless people do what they are told. That, my friend, is a hard grip.

Oh please. Everything is approved by the CCP, until it is not. Corruption is feature, not a bug, which allows the CCP to discipline those who fall out of favour.

I was thinking specifically of the aircrew example, yes. There is not a high likelihood we will get former US military people coming to Canada. I have spoken to a number of US exchange officers who would love to stay in Canada after their exchange. If they were to join another military force...

I hate to be the debbie downer, but security clearances don’t always easily transfer to Canada.
