We are getting into territory I am not comfortable discussing, except to say that if reservists are involved, they will be Air Reservists.

Yup. There are a few. Checkout N Log O, sometime…

Depending on their occupational health. If they belong to an stressed occupation- good luck. If they belong to an overborne occupation with a long training backlog…maybe?

Just trying to be fair and balanced…

Of course, the opposite is also true…

If it comes out as I currently see it envision- way more Regiment, way less police.

Not really, from what I am seeing.

Well, there is still that pesky sensor/mission system design and integration piece. And cutting a bomb bay in pressure hull. And weapon release/separation trials. And airworthiness sign off. 10 years ago, that was all a bad bet against a hot P8 line and friendly Americans. Now? We might be...

I will agree with your overall airframe numbers, but disagree with having 4 small Sqns. I think 405/407 each with 8 airframes is getting pretty sweet, with the rest for the OTU/maintenance swing. I also disagree with basing in NL. With the range and speed of the P8- what’s the point? You made...

A good FSA is worth their weight in gold to a unit. If you are good at your job- people will notice.

So….Norway should come to Irving for Type26s?

I find it interesting that the consensus here seems to be that if the F35 ever became “no go” for Canada, that Rafale is the next best choice. I would have thought Eurofighter, just on user base alone. I continue to learn.

Is there a place we can hide?

Start doing math after that point?

It had an accident. Couple pages back….

Because, after the HSR build consumes XXX billions over a decade or two, no Government is going to feel like subsidizing ticket prices so the average Joe can afford to use it. My sense, based on lots of history in Canada, is that HSR will be a boutique network that carry, what, sub- 10,000...

I don’t think we have to get to 2030, anymore. IIRC the P8 delivery schedule starts next year and is unusually aggressive (for Canada).

Having been to Germany and having ridden DB extensively, it was fun listening to the Germans bitch about DB service. Ok-they left me in the lurch once with a missed connection due to construction. Otherwise, I thought they had a pretty sound rail system.

Sorry. I missed the sarcasm. Low level, over the Ocean, is incredibly hard on aircraft. The USN started to have issues with tail assembly fatigue in their P3 fleet in the mid 2010s and their airframes were younger than ours.

I am at a loss for words. Perhaps you should lay out for all of us your personal experience with Maritime Air?
