    A rare bird from Gravenhurst, Ontario

    Even though the elementary flying training schools of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) flew Fleet Finches and de Havilland Tiger Moths for a good part of the Second World War, the RCAF realised even before the end of 1940 that these biplanes no longer had much in common with the combat...

    RCAF Airbus CC-150 Polaris Replacement Program

    In January of 2021, the RCAF issued an ITQ to replace their 40 year old CC-150 Polaris tanker aircraft. The requirement states that their replacement must be operated by a fellow NATO nation, thus narrowing the tender to the KC-46 and A330 MRTT. The A310s were originally purchased by Wardair...

    RCA Astra-1 - the (mostly unknown) CF-105 Arrow radar

    I checked, no thread for this one. It was developed by RCA between early 1956 and september 1958 when it was canned. Before and after these dates, ( sigh...) the prefered option was the MX-1179 / MA-1. While the Sparrow II missile is well known, Astra 1 remains kind of mystery. It has been...

    Canada buys the A-4 Skyhawk

    Did Canada ever consider the A4 Skyhawk for its carrier aviation and Norway reinforcement role (instead of F5)? Would have been able to operate with USN/USMC.

    What if all three Canadian Services bought Sikorsky S-61 in 1963?

    OTL in 1963, the Royal Canadian Navy received their first Sikorsky CH-124 Sea King Helicopters. They flew from Canadian ships for more than 50 years. I greased and refuelled Sea Kings on the flight decks of HMCS Athabaskan and HMCS Iroquois. I also washed innumerable GE-T58-8F engines...
