We wait for replacements to be trained, which takes time.

Our orders in the CAF are the same. I know one of my squadrons pilots likes to have a smoke when he is on long trips. I know he does it, I have photo's to prove it. As well, his cockpit usually has a rearend (language filter) or two when he lands.

I knew the engineer who was badly burned trying to save the pilots.

The Boeings were used to get additional jets over for Desert Shield. Talking to guys I work with they were in Turkey for a very short period of time. This is probably pre-Gulf War.

According to tonights news, ten crewmen have died since the Cretien cancelled the Sea King replacement in 93. Hard to believe it has been 13 years. I didn't think it was that high. But the blood is on the hands of our past PM. It is good to hear this crew all made it out fine.

It is released periodically. Email Mikerian and ask if they plan on another release soon. Mikerian is the one who request that it be released. All you really need is a F-18A kit with Leading Edge decals.

I have it in both the early silver scheme and the camo.

I find their helo's are far superior to any of the jet kits they make. It's better then nothing.

I have plenty of shots of 322. I was involved in the crash investigation and I have plenty of shots pre and post crash. I will not release any of my post crash shots. I stayed a few weeks at the crash site in a tent, while we investigated the accident.

Nice stuff Phil! Thanks for posting!

Nice stuff!

Actually a good idea. We can outfit one of the 3 Daks for PM duties.

Very nice! Show us more!

Koster makes a very good one. It is in a set for a bunch covers for Hasegawa 1/48 jets. It is vacuum formed.

Actually that is incorrect. I teach Human Factors in Military Aviation and this is one of our lessons. His survial vest gets caught up on a turbine inlet probe. This probe is well up the inlet away from the turbine. The flame is the result of his cranial being sucked through the intake as it was sucked off of his head. He is saved from going through the blades by his vest and the quick reaction of the groundcrew member who told the pilot to cut the engines after he saw the flame.

Does anyone know how to copy that?

Did they actually mount them with the gear down?

Awesome!

Just to add to what Waco had to say, up here in Canada we refer to Legacy Hornets as the ones that have not undergone the Avionics Upgrade. Therefore we are able to differentiate between the non-upgraded jets and he upgraded jets. It is the way we do it.

Awesome!

I was given a tour of the RR last year. It was most impressive. I even sat in the Captain's chair which had covers that were sewn by Nancy Reagan.

WOW!

Most those Hornet's in the bone yard have less hours then our Hornets that we have in service.

Nice work Darren!
