It does.
trade-off for the lower mounted radome....360'ish ability (great for Sfc Search etc)...limits Wx RADAR though.
But...ya nice looking paint on her!

Wx RADAR is in nose radome. Only really care about the weather in front of us. The Synthetic Aperature RADAR also has a Wx mode for all the other quads.
Very sharp looking in yellow - happy to see 501 ready to go. 517 will be here in January - looking forward to crawling all over her.

Oh. Nice! The best of both worlds...I heard a few rumours about the bells/whistles like A-Scan filtering...sounds like some nice kit.
Truth to the rumour that ZX will see this platform before 8 Wg?

I thought I read somewhere that this new bird has a better radar and EO/IR than the Aurora.
If that is true or not, doesn’t matter, I’m just happy to see another new piece of kit.
Exciting times for the FWSAR community.
I thought the initial plan was 19 Wing, followed by 14 Wing, then 8 Wing with 17 Wing being last.

No. We have training platforms already. We don't need more that are different.
The CAF need to stop being hoarders, keeping everything.

The Buffalo will be retired/removed from RCAF inventory by 2021. Some museums will receive a few for display, the others will be disposed of through standard practices.
The Sea King had a retirement gala last year, I imagine we should start planning something similar for the Buffalo.

Don't retire the Buff yet. Problems!

Things like 'useful/accurate' AOIs (Aircraft Operating Instructions) etc are extremely valuable and important. No iron in this particular fire, but I say "wait it out".
