@ elkayem - I have some photos of em from CFB Cold Lake from this year, not taking off or anything though. Just sitting outside and in the hangar /edit k here are some pics incase you guys are interested i was stationed at cold lake some time ago so I got to see em pretty up close and personal pictures were taken from where they're currently flying out of http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._4727089_n.jpg http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._5134183_n.jpg http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos...4_296187_n.jpg http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._7354301_n.jpg http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._5690751_n.jpg http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._2210399_n.jpg http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._4431706_n.jpg |
can someone help me... i'm no expert at planes but isn't an F-18 designed to be a carrier-based aircraft? why would canada choose these if we are land-based? that day that cf-18 flew over us in rmd, it had the landing gear down and we could see what we thought was the arrestor hook hanging out back :confused: |

Coles Notes: F-18 wins the competition because of its price and good availability for parts. |

Edit: Love those Cold Lake pics. I rarely see more then 2 at a time anywhere, so seeing a bunch on the tarmac always looks great |

Also I dont think the CF18s have reverse thrusters like you see on the Air Canada/heavy airplanes, thus you need cables to slow down |
^ That pull of the hook makes your anus feel like it was shifted 6 inches away from your body. |

It sorta got old after hearing em everyday at Cold Lake |

CP-140 Aurora (AKA P-3 Orion) was doing circuits at YXX today. I only noticed it while were shuffling CC-130s around to make room for some other aircraft. There were a few times that I thought it was another Herc coming back from post maintenance test flight. Belka did you take those photos? Whats the tail number of the Herc your in? |
