So…P-8….

Speaking of subcontracting & having concerns about build quality...

Boeing saunters into the chat...


As long as no more doors fly off during flights...P-8 is still a solid choice!

(They seem to have that whole 'autopilot aiming the nose down' problem solved, and I haven't heard of any soda cans being found in the wings lately, so that's good...)

Oh no. Straight up (semi-legal, shadowy) lobbying of a Minister, who made a decision without checking with his DM, the CDS, the PM or Cabinet. Pretty ballsy, I have to admit.

Where are my fleece toque and gloves?

RCAF fleece or Army fleece?

 

[DBNSG]

RCAF fleece or Army fleece?

Don't you need a Scottish Regiment and the edge of a cliff for Army Fleece?

 

[Good2Golf]

RCAF fleece or Army fleece?

RCAF fleece and gloves are the same thing.

I'm guessing that it was under his watch that the decision to move the Downsview Supply depot to Montreal was taken since the base was closed just 3 years after his tenure.
