Inch, Someone called you God.  How often does that happen? I’m loving Jetstream and it’s one of a select few series recordings I have on my PVR.  It’s definitely “sponge worthy.” (Seinfeld ref) Kudos to the “chumps” who are not only on the toughest course of their young careers but have to...

Nothing has been officially announced yet. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/politicalbytes/

Exactly.  Considering it will be able to chuck small diameter bombs (SDB) at supersonic speeds and at ranges around 60nm, it kind of negates the SAM threat (plus stealth on top of that).  In fact, the F/A-22 could be used for destruction of enemy air defenses (DEAD).  Think of it as a F-117 /...

Nice.  Beautifully written trash talk from uninformed sources. I suggest you do your research before spewing your expert opinion on someone's way of life. Feel free to PM me if you have anymore useful information.

You forgot the extra 1000 lbs of equipment we bolt on to the hardpoints.  Plenty more detrimental to aircraft performance than our fat arses.

h3tacco is well informed.  Cannot confirm nor deny some of his info but I can tell you this: - EWOs are ANAVs.  MOSId 00182. - Majority of our current composition is of "new" EWOs (persons on their second + tour without previous EW experience). - Once selected, you attend the USAF Combat Systems...

From the Moose Jaw Times Herald http://www.mjtimes.sk.ca/index.cfm?sid=21165&sc=3 A student NATO Flying Training in Canada pilot training program was ejected from the Harvard II aircraft he was in as it was on the ground at 15 Wing Wednesday morning.     The student and an instructor — both...

"It must be stressed that pers trained on the FS course must occupy a FS position within their units for a minimum of one year, ideally for 18-24 months." BFSC fill up fast and are priority based.  You will most likely have to wait until you have completed a few years on Squadron.

Interesting e-mail transcript from Maj Hess-von Kruedener.  He is serving under UNTSO in Lebanon. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20060718/mideast_lebanon_UN_060716/20060718/

The CF has just re-opened the pilot trade to high school grads (as long as they promise to finish a degree while in the CF).  The math knowledge that you have now will suffice.  MattL is correct, at aircrew selection they test your basic mental math skills for it's speed and precision. A word...

If my memory serves me right, all Capts and below were together.  The CFHA site refers to Senior Officers for some of the housing.  That section of MQs is for Majors and above.  We used to call those streets "lifer's row".  The MQs in Greenwood are not bad at all either.

I totally agree with you Gunner98.  I really appreciated IMPs during Arctic survival (only 1 week but long enough for me)  I didn't care what was in that beautiful sliver pouch, I needed food now!  I almost lit myself on fire trying to get one of those darn stoves to light in -45 C.  What slid...

Remember the movie "Super Size Me"?  Where one man ate rotten ronnie's for every meal for thirty days straight and developed a few complications to say the least. Well, a journalist from Esprit de Corps is doing the same with our IMPs (Individual Meal Packs).  He is writing a daily account on...

You're getting way out of line.  We have the best maintainers and flyers in the world.  Stuff like that will happen, seems to me that it is most likely human error (improper latching, just a guess). Do you treat your C-7 like crap?  Trust me, the CF-188 techs are the best Hornet techs in the...

Nice.  I was unaware that civil servants' purpose in the CF was "sissification" injection. I think the main problem the Ombudsman office has with Mr Graham is this:  "Savard said Graham only wishes to view sensitive investigations after Finlay completes them but before they're made public -- a...

Kind of hard to take politics out of the procurement process when the final stamp of approval currently comes from the Prime Minister's office.

http://pogoblog.typepad.com/pogo/2005/01/question_when_i.html Biggest issues for us would be the prop delamination problem and crew manning.  Both of which can be resolved. But I don't think we'll see those Brit Hercs anyways.  We'll continue using those "on demand" AN-124s till something bad...
