No it isn't.

No it isn't.

That's just contradiction.

No it isn’t.

Yes it is!

I'm off to climb the twin peaks of Kilimanjaro. Lovely place

(Note: slightly off-topic banter to allow for more RCAF 100 Albatross, Seagull Eagle makes to be proposed.)

"Lac au Sac", combining the two fighter base names (Lac from Cold Lake, Sac from the Bag in Bagotville) that has the added benefit of sounding vaguely inappropriate.

Doesn't matter what they name it, this is what a military eagle mascot should look like; not some fetish-adjacent furry.

Sounds like it’s time for an RCAF-led callsign review board…

The Red Tailed Hawk would be a better choice, its a hunter, not a scavenger like a certain other bird:

Since the RCAF does more transport than fighter stuff, I'd suggest it should be a Swallow, rather than an Eagle or Hawk.

"FOD the eagle" has a certain ring to it.

European or African??

European or African??

Since the African Swallow is non-migratory, I'd suggest European.

As the Bald Eagle is most closely associated with the Pacific Northwest, and the Coast Salish who have a long history of honouring the eagle, it would make sense to name it 'Vision' (same spelling in both English and French) of course

Four Feathers​

The four sections of this guide represent traditional stages of learning: vision, gathering, knowledge, and sharing. Feathers are sacred for Coast Salish peoples (Charles, 2018), and each section has its own feathered bird that serves as a symbol for that stage:

Eagle/QELENSEN: Vision​

The Eagle is a sacred symbol to Indigenous people. The eagle is the leader of all flying birds. The eagle is the strongest, has the greatest vision, is well-balanced, soars through the skies, and the eagle flies the highest to carry messages of prayer to our Creator/XALS.

Is it most closely associated with them? I grew up on PEI had had a Bald Eagle nest across the road from my home... I knew what a Bald Eagle was before I new the Left Coast existed.
