beachav8r Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 Interesting - learned some things I never knew: - The airplane has it's own APU. I always figured it just used battery power to get the engine spinning to the point they could introduce fuel. - I didn't know they could control the MFD LSK with the stick. I mean, I know there are a ton of commands mapped to the HOTAS, but I didn't know they could actually mouse around on the displays.. - Did not know CF-18s had a spotlight... - I did not know there was a country located north of the United States. What is this "Canada" he so often speaks about? BeachAV8R Quote
JediMaster Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 In 1999, the South Park movie had a song nominated for an Oscar. It was called "Blame Canada." I believe it was written shortly after this country rose. Quote
beachav8r Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 I've heard of this rumored country...sort of like that country rumored to be south of us.. 1 Quote
Jug Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Every time I read something about the Canadian Defense Forces, I am reminded of the national travesty of the CF-105 Arrow affair and think about the piece of work politicians can make out of the tremendous efforts at Avro. Always thought there was some $$ involved in there somewhere and, sad to say, I am afraid the source was some deep and unscrupulous American pockets. Quote
