Good enough then. Let's all only go to the range every 5 years, and hope against hope that we score fairly well
short final said:And chopperwhatever your name is.....the Tutor is what makes the routine so special. You think you can pack 9 hornets into a formation and still here the 80's David Foster music? No way dude.
ChopperHead said:Relax "dude" the T-50 is not a hornet but whatever thats not the point. The point was that the Tutors are getting very old and to the end of life and need to be replaced. Sure they still fly but so do the SeaKings only they require alot of maintence and sometimes fall out of the sky well lets not wait untill the Tuturs start falling out of the sky and people are dying before they get replaced. Maybe the T-50 isnt a good choice I don't know It was just a sugestion. You dont think so? well lets here something better then.

Old news Woggie - ever tried a parade with canned music?

Your right compared to you who I assume are a pilot ( I didn't check your profile ) I don't know much about flying but I do know enough. Lets not get technical on the vocabulary here when I say that the planes fall out of the sky I don't literally mean just drop I mean from technical problems like engine failure or whatever it may be and go down. I'm not gonna argue with you about this stuff because obviously you know more then I do but I mean the Tutors are getting old, one recently crashed because of an engine failure I believe, I don't know the circumstances behind it but regardless I think they need to be replaced before any other problems arise from ageing equipment being used in such advanced maneuvers. Just don't you think that if the snowbirds are out there showing Canada and the rest of the world our the best the airforce has to offer they should be equipt with the best possible modern aircraft not planes that were built back in late 60's.
Re the LdSH Riding Troop,their horse's are not thoroughbreds,they are wild horse's as they were when the LdSh were created.Each horse is taken from the wild and are quite the beast.They are broken and tamed as the Reg. did in the past.They are a True Cow Boy Horse from Alberta,mangy looking things but strong and tough.George Wallace said:Enfield
You have to open your eyes a little. The LdSH(RC) Riding Troop conducted a Cross-Canada Tour a couple of years back, culmunating in a trip to England, where they performed the Changing of the Guard Ceremonies at Buckingham Palace; as did a Coy of PPCLI. These various "Demonstation Teams" are out there. Have you ever visited Quebec City and La Citadel? Have you ever been in Ottawa, when a Foreign Head of State Visits? Not all of the Parades and Ceremonies are 'travelling shows'. Some are one time events or one location events. What do you think of "Freedom of the City" ceremonies? These events are happening all the time. Sometimes they even get good press coverage.
