The Canadian military is studying whether the lifespan of its fleet of 40-year-old Sea King helicopters can be extended again, Defence Minister Peter MacKay has confirmed
OMGosh, I can't believe that the Sea Pigs are still in use. And the death date of 2012 was not the original one it was in the 90's until Macaroonee got booted for the hated GST. And then the Liberals got in and nixed the EH101 project. I used to work on the Sea Pigs in Shearwater after I remustered from the Army. They gotta be gettin real long in the tooth. Pure truth to the statement we used to use in the Air Force. Quote "Sea Kings...Living proof that 10,000 bolts canfly in formation." unquote.
The day we had the anniversary flight where we tried to get them all up in the air at once was a joke. many of them never got the ok on the "B" check to get airborne. LOL and they are still using that crap. The Conservatives need to gain some gravitas and replace the junk and not later but now.
