    New(ish?) CHinook Pics with Canuck markings

    Saw the Rhur Express today. Very cool! It's a shame that those big engines hide so much of the nose of the King Air. I especially liked the detail of the 'missions flown' markings just below left seat's window and the original 'old tyme' British registration on the fins below the vert stab...

    CFTS delays

    Depends on what rumours you listen to, they vary from a long to a very long wait.

    ROTP VS CEOTP

    Correct. I have 2 years remaining on my degree that will be fully reimbursed by the Queen, according to my ILP. I believe the catch is that they will no subsidize full time studies any longer (though I am going to be trying to get around that in a few months). If I were you, I'd take ROTP. Get...

    Boeing to shut down C-17 production

    Can a C-5 fly 500ft AGL 300kts while snapping into 60/2 turns and air drop beans and bullets to the guys on the ground? Can a C-5 do an assault landing onto a 5,000ft austere airstrip? C-17 can, sounds like a half decent 500,000lbs MTOW airframe to me. You are comparing apples and oranges...

    Pilot Timeline

    Well, truth be told, given the option I'd much rather have a reasonable wait for MJ... But I guess that's not really much of an option anymore. Beggars can't be choosers I suppose.

    Pilot Timeline

    Sounds like the house of cards has finally begun to tumble, BFT 0903 is zero loaded. Can't wait to see what the extra wait time will turn out to be.

    Pilot Timeline

    I don't think they've been zero loading, 0901 02 03 are all going on time. They will be doing the entire ground school non stop and then just wait for their turn with the planes. The word is they are going to send all the way up to 05 and then possibly start zero loading, but that's just the...

    Decent Pilot OJTs

    If you want to live up north, I've heard that the folks up in Yellowknife are looking for a good OJT. Not sure if this still applies, but never hurts to ask.

    "Initial Flight Safety Report: CT-114 Tutor Accident" 9 Oct 08

    Very interesting. I've heard a few different stories/personal accounts out of Moose Jaw that I'm not about to post here; but from what I overheard from a few higher ups, this incident had them stumped at the beginning. I am curious to read the final report when it is finally available.

    Hawk 1 - The Sword Flies again !

    This made me howl as well, this would be pretty important to know before taking to the air!

    All female USAF C5 Galaxy crew!!!!

    Box office! Too funny, I'm not sure whether that actually went down the way it's told or not, but that is legendary!

    P-8 Poseidon

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't turbofans inherently less efficient at low altitudes, where a good chunk of the MP mission takes places? Curious as to how that plays into the P-8.

    Yup, from 33 to 44wks and min escape profile to BBB.

    Becoming a Pilot in the CF.

    This is where it gets confusing, they are only sending pilots to do SLT currently because of the long wait time, but, as it was explained to me you cannot be on the waiting list for another course while you're on course (SLT). So the 'official' waiting doesn't begin until you're DONE SLT. After...

    Do I take the pilot offer??

    Did you get a phase I bypass? Current wait times, from what I've seen, are 10-14 for Portage (obviously I get the 14mo wait!), 6-8 for Moose Jaw. Of course this is after a max 10 month stay at CFLRS, so you can be looking at well over 24mo til you strap a Harvard on.
