@global-mil-info.bsky.social and other members of @projectowlosint.bsky.social have mapped key Venezuelan military installations, radar sites, and other significant locations from open-source data. Should the United States initiate strikes, many of these will be the first targets hit.

Happy Thanksgiving, ya filthy Canadian animals

Does Canada need to diversify where it sources its equipment, yeah, probably. But that doesn't mean we won't be buying American Equipment. There are still areas where it's the only logical sense.

unfortunately, the alternatives do not meet the requirements because they can't fit in anything but a C-17, of which Canada and NATO as a whole have very limited amounts of outside the USAF. There are systems where the US is simply the best supplier of equipment on the market for our needs.

yeah no worries! :)

while the tail codes and squadron markings are gone I went through one of the F-35B serial numbers data bases and based on the tail numbers they belong to VFMA-211.

any chance that the mainland might get the outer bands of Erin? or will it only remain out to sea.

A change in content, USAF C32A 98-0001 made a brief stop to Halifax Stanfield International Airport operating as SAM518. Unsure if this was a visitor or just a training flight. however a cool visitor none the less.

Photos released by the Canadian Joint Operations Command (CJOC) of the drop.

Canadian Armed Forces air drop humanitarian assistance in Gaza The CAF employed a CC-130J Hercules aircraft to conduct an airdrop of critical humanitarian aid in support of Global Affairs Canada into the Gaza Strip. The air drop consisted of 21,600 pounds of aid.

www.canada.ca/en/global-af... statement from the Canadian Government confirms a CC-130J Hercules aircraft dropped 21,600 lbs of aid over Gaza.

The Canadian Govt and Department of National Defence has not commented yet. This thread will be updated when more details come.

A Canadian Hercules aircraft conducted its first aid drop early this morning after departing Jordan. This is the first time Canada has conducted independent airdrops into an active conflict zone in decades previous Canadian aid was dropped by Jordan into Gaza.

According to Flight Tracking Data a Royal Canadian Air Force C-130J Hercules Aircraft that was assigned to Air Task Force Prestwick in Scotland has been repositioned to King Abdullah II Air Base where it joins two Belgian A400M Aircraft.

BREAKING: Canadian C-130J Hercules aircraft have begun airdropping humanitarian aid into Gaza. This marks a major shift in Canada’s approach to the crisis. #cdnpoli

man, I've reached the point where I'm happy Recruiters have even sent me rejection letters. the amount of ghosting that's happened to me by employers has been exhausting.

That is correct, one CC-150 is participating in Ramstein Flag this year.

morning!

and I don't think this will provoke trump, as you said Portugal didn't have a formal order for the jets. They also haven't set aside new funding for aircraft in their defense policy in the long term so it really isn't known when they are going to replace the F-16 at all.

sounds like its more of an election promise then a change in substantial policy, especially as Portugal goes to the polls on May 18th and the governing party sounds like its going to lose from what I understand.

oh to be a fly on the wall right now

for now it does rely on the Australia/Canada/United Kingdom Reprogramming Lab (ACURL) based in Eglin AFB in Florida but I don't see why we couldn't do it domestically once the Infrastructure is in place

a lot of the arguments in this article are readily disproven such as the claim that only the US has access to the Mission Data Files (MDF) when a lot of F-35 partners countries including Canada do have access to those mission sets and can program their own specific mission sets.

Came across this awesome pic of Commander Emily Shilling in her office. She's now part of the lawsuit filed against Trump & Co. in the Western District of Washington today.

Once a bad ass, always a bad ass.

Now as to where they're probably going, AETE CF-18s have been known to frequant Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake in California where Canadian Flight Test engineers are working alongside their USMC counterparts testing the AN/APG-79(V)4 Radar and other upgrades so I suspect they are headed there.

RCAF CC-150T 15004 over the last few days has been towing CF-188s down to California dropping them off over Colorado. Today I caught on Live ATC that they were operating as LOGIC31 Flight, LOGIC being a callsign associated with the RCAF's Aerospace Testing and Engineering Establishment.

oh no, the horror that I already do this

6 Typhoons are headed to Nellis AFB for Red Flag 25-1, some were supposed to head to Bermuda yesterday but for whatever reason at least one of the Tankers and 3 typhoons diverted back to Lajes yesterday.
