I have no problem with the size, speed and manoeuverability of the planes. It's their age and reliability that concerns me. I'm also afraid that when it comes time to retire the current planes, the Snowbirds may be mothballed rather than provided with new hardware.

I always feel sorry for the Forces.

There are some great folks who want to be good protectors of their country. Very sincere. But the government seems to think it is more inportant to only let them play dress up soldier with Grand Dad's pinched equipment.

The Snowbirds do a heck of a job with the equipment they are given, eh?
