Red is the main colour of 410. Their hockey jersey's are the same as the Flames. The blue tshirts were issued to us when the CADPAD was issued, you were issued 3 blue shirts, that is the only colour you are allowed to wear in uniform. For the most part it was totally up to the individual what...

I was posted there for over 17 years, and we loved it, it was a good place to bring the kids up, so for us it was good. Keep you head up, as othes have said you are starting off with a good atittude, lets see if you keep that up beat atittude after 8 years.

I totally agree, a very childish act and a slap to the faces of the fallen. Maybe what the Government should do is set up a system where people can buy signs, be it signs that were posted there or replicas, sell them so that they can donate the proceeds to the familys of the fallen.

It was all about amalgamation, jack off all trades master of none, instead of a pool of 8 techs you could utilize 28 techs. BTW good post ninja, well said.

:salute: :cdn: :'(

The techs in the front line uints (in my case that was 416, they just amalgamated 416 and 441 which has caused quite a stir from what I hear!!!) work mainly with the Aircraft,  anything that for the most part would take less then a day to fix (that is being quite liberal BTW, I had Snr NCM's...

If Ralph Klien can go up in one there is no doubting that you can too!!! Having worked on or around CF-18's for 18 years it has become a whole easier to get a flight in one, I had numerous chances but I prefered to work on them, it used to be that you needed your "High Altitude Indoctrination...

Most likely you will end up in Cold Lake, we spent almost 18 years there! And where did I ask to go when I was on my remuster engine course? Greenwood! I asked for Greenwood for years but I stayed in Cold Lake. They send you where they need you, remember you signed up for the Military! If they...

Pee before you go. If I am not mistaken there is a pee bag, I worked on the Ejection seats not the seat pack. They used to have a tube that you could go in and it would dump it out the bottom of the aircraft.

Okay believe it or not I do get it. Jeeze.............

You guys don't think I meant that the individual do it himself????? God no! I amy not be pretty but I am not that stupid...... That's not what I was meaning. If it is under the right conditions and controlled it can be disabled.

Awesome song and video.

True enough but I am sure it can be disabled in some way.

Something tells me Vern wants you to report this "find" Me would be calling someone, can you have someone "unload" the nasty stuff from inside? and then you would be able to display it.

If this has been posted here before I am truly sorry. I actually arrived in Lahr almost a year after this event, but having watched the video it brings back many fond memories of my time in the Regiment and the people I met along the way. Enjoy. Mods if this is a repost of the video please...

Actually if the bird did make it that far it would be a miracle, you are partially right, in the case of a bird it would be burnt up in the Combuster section of the engine, that is the area that the fuel/air mixture are burnt to produce the thrust, not much makes it past there due to the high...

Having worked in the Engine Bay of Cold Lake for a few years and worked in 416 fighter Squardons I have seen my fair share of birdstrikes, the worst jet incident we had was a pilot flew through a flock of birds the aircraft took probably 8-10 strikes, a lot of them were on the leading edge of...

I have used my retirement card in Vegas! We went to Madame Touseau's (Sp?) in the Venetian and it was Veterans/Rememberance day and they were allowing former and current military in for free or half price or something to that effect, anywayI asked if it applied to Canadians and of course they...

Retired. 25 years combined Reg/Reserves. 7 years in Armoured, 18 with the Air Force.

I know I have tried to use my retirement card in the past and I get the old "Deer in the headlights" stare and a "sorry this will not do for picture ID!!!!!!" I used to use my Military ID all the time and never had a problem, but most places prefer to use my drivers license.
