If you have a problem with the US foreign policy that is one thing, something you should hate the govt. for and you will find most US citizens will agree with you on that!

However to dislike the US from a aviation standpoint....well you must not know much about aviation!

, like how the US is where it all started, where most of the aircraft are made, where most of the icons of aviation came from, the infrastructure the US has in it's airways, the number of airports. Heck if memory serves doesn't Canada call on the NTSB to tell them why Canadian crash, the space program, etc. etc.

Yeah, we fly by night, it makes you feel alright
It keeps you coming back for more..."


Now, if that doesn't change the topic, I don't care if you're an American who hates Canada...
or a Canadian who hates America....or a hermaphrodite who can't make up his/her mind....
there's something wrong with you!

And if this doesn't work, can someone please post a picture of a Corsair? :prayer:

Thank-you so much.

As you wish.....

I doubt that YOU would be included in any Briefings in the near future - or distant future either, for that matter.

Meeka, thanks for posting. What a beaut! The 2010 YXX Air Show will feature a Corsair, and a Lancaster. If I don't have to work, I'll be there....looking up 'til I have a big crick in my neck!

Supercharged, everytime I drive by the Boeing plant, I get all goose-pimply because IMO, Boeing will always be the #1 aerospace company in the world.

Um....about the U.S. space programme. Canada had a lot to do with getting Armstrong on the moon, thanks to the Avro Arrow. When Diefenbaker cancelled the programme - a date that is known in infamy as Canada's aviational "Black Thursday" - NASA scooped up all the Canadian talent involved in the project.

Avro Aerospace was also working on a jet-engine prototype that had procured the interest of Howard Hughes. Had "Black Thursday" not happened - heck, we might have given Boeing a run for the runway!

Don't forget the robotic arms on the Shuttles.
