I am ok replacing the Cyclones, but don't go rewarding Sykorsky who sold Canada the lemon, and don't go reward the United States, who is no longer an ally.
The only money that should be spent is on flame throwers so we can torch these lemons and leave nothing but a pile of ash. No museum for you. I wish I could mind wipe myself so I could forget this whole debacle. The answer is so obvious it’s painful. Our pilots deserve better. It’s time to move on.
I’ll blame Chrétien. It was a total political call and completely in line with the absolute lack of military equipment requirement knowledge in our political class. A SAR version of the EH101 just flew over me as I write this.
Ok. I won’t mention the former PM’s name. Just to say we’re doing fairly well with the Cormorant as is the RN and RAF with their Merlins. Makes for a good sized supply chain.

Please don't put them in museums. No need to preserve the shame. Follow the Australian example...

I was there yesterday watching the crew changing the engine, using a civilian crane. My shift ended before they got the engine out.
