CH-148 Cyclone Progress

Ok, fair enough, but how much complexity do you want to introduce to this thread? The MND is primarily, functionally where the buck stops for military aviation in Canada, including contracted air services. I recognize it is more nuanced than that, but it answers the basic question of why “C” registrations on the A jets.

Well, we could get into TAOs and SPFPs and all that fun stuff, which can also be done with Ns, Gs, Fs and a few others…

TC has never met anything they aren't willing to say "NO" to, we called them the Department of NO.

Welcome to the Canadian bureaucracy. Most civil servants have more authority to say no than yes.

Some quick flying decisions there and good that they were able to recover hopefully without injury.

Observation:

"Constant upgrades to aircraft and sensors, and a best-in-class sustainment program are key to the MH-60R aircraft’s unparalleled mission capability, mission availability and flight readiness.

• Lockheed Martin’s Performance Based Logistics program for U.S. Navy MH-60R helicopters enables 95 percent flight readiness and availability — a rate unmatched by other maritime helicopters.
• The U.S. Navy’s MH-60R roadmap will maintain the Romeo’s operational edge to 2045 and beyond."
