    CH-146 Griffon

    You left out the C7. And the operating specs for both it and by extension the CC115 were a lot different for the army than they were for the air force. The Caribou was in and out of strips that were less than 1000 ft. Definitely not 280 specifications but then again the price difference and...

    Global Warming/Climate Change Super Thread

    CF-188 Hornet, Canada's jet fighter

    that is what happens when you start relying on AI. Simple example but it demonstrates very clearly the weaknesses of relying on a machine to make decisions.

    The best enhancement that they have added to TV in the last 2 decades is the mute button. Although having the channel select close at hand rather than having to get up means instantaneous results rather than having to listen for 20 seconds on the way to the tube.

    and if I may add a little bit, the trend within individual parties to not permit any contrary opinions. Parties now hand out hymnals with all pages removed but one and if you as a liberal or conservative or NDP don't like that hymn then you have no place in the choir. It may provide for a...
