    One of the things we've always strived for here is a sense of community and camaraderie.  We can't guarantee every suggestion will be implemented, but nothing will ever be dismissed out of hand.  This forum is for everyone and we're always open to ways to improve it.

    That's cool...... I like the openness for ideas....  that can only make it more fun and a greater place for guys like me to learn and find better ways.... awesome... thanks for that....

    Martin, the guy manning eh gun could be my son !  , he said they were really cool birds....loud, strong and to the point.......maybe we might get these as a replacement, in about 200 years, as we use our birds until there is nothing left, just retired our 1960's Seakings...... I had to chuckle, when  I saw a Canadian Seaking crew member wearing a patch on his uniform, with an embroidered Seaking, it read.................. " Flying Yesterday's Aircraft Tomorrow"....................... had to chuckle at that one....

    Ernie, never worry about a rant like that, with a son in the Canadian Army and my daughter in law in the RCAF I more than agree with you, but our Federal Government, doesn't seem to look at it like that..... I guess that's why were are buying used 20 year old F-18's to replace our 30 year old F 18's............ :wacko:

    My son, a Major in the Canadian Army flew in a 17 in Afghanistan, said it was like flying in his Leopard, built VERY strong and robust, he felt very safe in it... I thought it was cool, that he go to fly in one... I'd love to as well, they are plentiful, so that must show it's a good machine..... he said it was a blast.....a great ride....

    Well................................ back to the drawing board..............................

     

    As a helicopter nut, that breaks my heart, I am glad all were ok, but still looks to have been a fairly firm landing..................kind of shows the cabin strength of this machine though......

    You may not have to find the '5', as Hammy was from my home town, there is huge controversy as to what number he flew, also apparently KD658 wasn't connected to 115....... not sure where all that comes from, but I do have a copy of the 1841 squadron ORB, as well as a narrative from a fellow who was there......and there is some reference to that subject................. now with all that said, it is YOUR model, and you build it as you see fit...... would American numbers work, as they have the cropped outlines?? I always thought that the 115 number looked very American....... just my 2 cents worth.....
