CP-140 Aurora

[Eye In The Sky]

This story today about the buzzing isn’t anything new…I was on this crew in 2018.

Senior fellow what’s your name. Could lead to disaster in a crash eh. Why do they talk to these people?

Canada alarmed as Chinese fighter pilots ‘buzz’ Canadian planes over international waters

Reminded me of the us navy p3 that collided with chinese fighter jet and had to land on chinese island.

The way Flynn describes it isn’t what I would call accurate either. Terrified? Lumbering?

Well of course he'd say that the Aurora was "lumbering" and "not manoeuvrable"...

If that's the case, perhaps DFS should have us affix appropriate warning placards on the wingtips & fuselage.

I think that needs a seven hour, cannot skip through, DLN course that only runs on Internet Explorer, requires Flash, must be recertified annually, is a promotion prerequisite, that crashes before completing the final exam, requiring you to restart.

I vote for everyone who thinks the SGOD is "lumbering" be made to do some 60 & 2s at the sono rack, SS 4/5 at 300' holding a DICASS and without any "crew, maneuvering" calls. After that....up to the Tac rail for some MAD tracking...

Do you work for Shared Services Canada?

More of an ADM IM vibe, or possibly contractor developed content where technology was specified in the contracting vehicle originally written in 2007 but never updated, and where the departmental OPI still has someone print out all their emails so they can hand write replies.

Some photos of the block 4 Aurora I took at this years Cold Lake airshow. New hump and bumps on it.

Did you see inside?

Did you see inside?

No. Did you see Inside recently?

My research was based on a lot of wiki surfing and the following document that documents the parts upgrades over time.

It probably looks pretty janky inside because the plane was not around those systems.

Yes? Flew a few times last week, even scheduled for a B IV COREX this week, B0630/T0830/5.0 this week…but not on Friday thankfully!

Ya the tactical consoles are very different, some changes in the flight deck. Galley and bathroom likely no change. The ‘79 station wagon finishes remain, thankfully.

(My comment above was related to the poster who took pictures at the air show; the ladder is down and a line up is there so people were doing walk-thru’s with the mission systems turned off).

Did you see inside?

No I didn't see inside(too impatient to wait in line).

A picture of 113 at IMP last from Sept; she was in for B IV mod and went thru the normal RTS (Release to service) and PAT&E (Production Acceptance Testing and Evaluation) events. A few people might notice the new bumps on the radome...

A decent article on Block IV and the amount of work and testing that goes into getting aircraft "back on the ramp" after upgrades, Third Line Inspection and Repair (TLIR) including the RTS (release to service) testing and Production Acceptance Testing and Evaluation(PAT&E) processes that happen once IMP's work is done...Page 6 of this weeks Aurora Newspaper edition.

Does Comox have any Block IV Auroras yet?
