CAF 146491 - Bell CH-146 Griffon - Canadian Forces

- seen here in yellow SAR colours at Hamilton International Airport (YHM)

operated by 424 (Tiger) Transport and Rescue Squadron at 8 Wing/CFB Trenton. To fulfill its roles, 424 Squadron flies the CH-146 Griffon helicopter and the Lockheed CC-130 Hercules.

The Griffon is the military version of the Bell 412 - Canada ordered 100 helicopters in 1992 - they were produced by Bell Canada in Montreal between 1995 and 1997 - powered by 2 Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6T-3D Turbo Twin-Pac engines

i thought what i saw here brought this monument right to life and more realistically depicted the harsh conditions our forefathers endured for the sake of our nations' peace.

Man i love Canada!

we're so blessed to live in such a freaking awesome country!

why do so many try to change it !?

An RCAF Aurora from 407 sqn. making a planned missed approach off runway 27 here. None of us can figure out the significance of the scorpion on the tail as it doesn't match with 407's badge or any other outfit.

at Abbotsford International Airport (YXX)

Typical Canadian weather, a cold, misty, rainy day, provided the backdrop for a historical meeting of two of the World's premiere military jet demonstration teams. The Canadian Forces Snowbirds and patrouille de France line up for a joint team portrait on the apron at Gatineau Executive Airport north of Ottawa after the AERO150 airshow. On the left is the Canadair Tutor in the symbolic Snowbirds livery, and right the Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet in the patrouille de France colours, with the promotional vertical stabilizer. The airshow highlighted Canada's 150th birthday, and 100 years of the Battle of Vimy Ridge during the great War.

Unfortunately this is only a large-scale model of a DHC-7/CC-132 in Canadian Armed Forces livery.

The original aircraft was:

CAF 132001 - de Havilland Canada CC-132 Dash 7 (DHC-7)

c/n 8 - built in 1979 - retired 1987 -

registered C-GJSZ Boeing of Canada Ltd -

sold to ARKIA as 4X-AHI - stored

Would be nice to have the original aircraft back in Canada and properly preserved (CWHM has no space available for sure)

"Canforce 2516" making a planned missed approach. I only shot this Hercules to get the serial number, so not good quality. Decided to upload when I saw the ice build-up on the wings from cold soaked fuel tanks.

I’m deeply thankful to all who’ve served and continue to stand up for what is honourable, moral and right.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

Just a few of the injured soldiers who took part in the Army Run in Ottawa. It was an inspiration to watch them run/wheel/jog/walk in the 5km and 21km races.

I noticed that no matter how well trained that service dog is the woman is not letting him anywhere near that hot dog.
