Opportunity to update the CC-150 fleet?

[Good2Golf]

To be fair I suspect that the DC 10 could have happened to anyone. And by the the time McDon ,the FAA and the NTSB were finished the DC 10 may very well have become possibly the safest airliner in modern history.
Ironically enough by the time the various investigations and law suits were done they literally knew everything that could go wrong with the design.

Like a flying Ford Pinto?

Looks like Trenton is losing its golf course to CC-330 Husky infrastructure.

We had to plan support to Afghanistan around that gool course.
Good riddance, should be burnt to the ground.

Of course the biggest transport hub closest to the main ammo depot will be getting improved ability to hold ammo (1.1) with this expansion right?

Right?

I didn't think Dundurn was near Trenton.....


In any case Trenton is supposed to get new/expanded ammo holding facilities.

 

[AmmoTech90]

I did specify main, not biggest .

New facilities is good. We ran into problems with MSE Ops from Borden running out of driving hours because flights were late and then had to scramble to find somewhere to park the trucks while the drivers had a nap.

And of course Trenton required the transport there to meet the plane's original arrival time because there was nowhere to store the cargo ...

Edmonton (YEG) likely base for mob-west.

Edmonton likely location for western base for the RCAF CC-330 Husky - Skies Mag

National Defence and the Edmonton International Airport are in negotiations to secure a western main operating base for the CC-330 fleet.

I would have guessed Winnipeg first, but this was my second guess.

Same. Noteworthy that it’s YEG, not YED…

Does big Red base A330s out of YEG? That could be a consideration.

Nope. Winnipeg has a Big Red base. Calgary has Westjet’s base. Edmonton is not a base for either (near as I can see).
