Time to have a quiet chat with the crew chief.

Kinda funny in some ways, but not out of the ordinary.

When I was at Nellis in the early 70s, there used to be a string of junk from the end of the NE end of the runway all the way past US93 and onto the dry lakebed beyond -- as "stuff" fell off the A/C - doors, panel covers, all kinds of stuff. The odd F-111 or F105 would park out there as well.

Now-a-days folks are better trained, I think, and the A/C are much better to begin with.

Normal. You arrive at Saguenay, your luggage ends to at Toronto.

The oblong [luggage] pod on the underside of the jet's wing would not likely be flown into combat; it can be replaced with bombs or a fuel tank for long missions.

C'mon now, really. Just how many fighter pilots would fly into combat with a case of Molson's?

(beat)

Or is that a loaded question?

I'm sure Prime Minister Martin's first response was... “Well... they do have two wings... don't they?!”

I wouldn´t mind stuffing his liberal, wishy-washy corrupt ass into a fuel pod then take him up about 40,000 feet.

Hi Johnny 7:

Actually, I'm from the midwest (US) but have an uncle and several cousins from Canada. One was a Major in the Canadian Engineers. I've always been interested in Canada and Canadians, and it just burns me what the liberals have done to Canada's fine military.

Regards,
Levante

It's a shame what Canada has let itself become.
