Finally, FINALLY my Country (Canada) Makes a Decision; 88, F-35s
1977Frenchie replied to Arrow's topic in The Pub
Canada did not fly US fighter jets only, they flew the CF-100 (fighter jet but referred as an interceptor), but hey we made it to the production line and it served with RCAF and Belgium :) Does the F-35 is the right choice? I can't tell but the JAS-39 Gripen E could have been a good choice too as it would have been assembled in Canada. Not to mention way more less expensive to buy and maintain. But we love to buy American stuff :) Now I can't wait seeing them land at the airport the CF-18's (and various other) where i live land as a remote strip :) -

Happened to me two weeks ago... GPU probably generated a little bit more heat then usual then ate the Aim-9 coming at it... GPU was a bit old (Nvidia GTX 960 2mb). I had it since 2016... So went to Ebay to find a replacement and they were way too expensive, not to mention most of them were from China and i do not thrust them to send me ''real'' GPU but cloned one's. I finally found one at an affordable price in Toronto and i put the biggest i could put in my Alienware X51R3 (went for Nvidia GTX 1060 3mb). Runs smoother at higher graphic settings. I will use this until i can change the whole PC in the future :) Good luck on your side!

Like a guy 3 weeks ago on a ferry. ! was explaining some naval things (right of passage, buoys, meaning of this and that, etc.) to my 8 years old son and after 10 minutes the guy shout at me Are you about done to say bullshit to your son? To whom i replied : been a Royl Canadian Navy Cadet for 7 years and a naval fficer in the Royal Canadian Navy (Reserve) for 4 years, so i know what i'm talking about... Did not see him for the rest of the trip :)
