Notable ones are the griffons landing (helocopters are soooo fun), the live-firing of C19 Claymores and the C9 shooting on the live defensive.

I have never seen anything on the canadians owning blackhawks.  Do we?  How many in the CF? The American ones or?
Thanks

We do not own Blackhawks, an the ones in the pictures/at ARCON were from Charlie Company, 2/224th Aviation Battalion of the Virginia National Guard (Story about it http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/lfaa_hq/arcon_04/documents/neighbours.htm).

It was Tue morn. I was your sniper tank at 3AM and back for the 07:30 main battle. I could not see anything even with the Ill, just fog and blackness.

It was loud was it not?. Funny after that 1st night I was not waken by the other sniper tanks (we took turns every night) and was not waken by the cougar outside my hooch running for radio watch. We returned at 07;30 for the main battle each day, fog was still on the range even at this hour, but we did managed to find some targets, past the Gully which was know as the "Gully" LOL
All in all a good time.
