Hmm, wonder if there's any chance of getting Lorne Green or James Doohan on there?  I'll take either over Shatner.

What about a real Canadian hero, surely there were even some who served in the RCAF, rather than over indulging the ‘importance’ of entertainers.

Well, I'll still go for James Doohan for that since he flew Army cooperation aircraft during WW II if I remember correctly.

Maybe not; but considering she went off to live in Vegas, I can already imaging the jokes about the new "(lounge) lizard scheme" that the crews might cook up.

Have they got anything with a particularly loud, screeching exhaust note? It's be ironic to put Alanis Morrisette on it... ;)

Funniest thing I've seen in a year! They do a really good job on that site. The "Count Floyd" Twin otter flying in blood, by 440 "Vampires" squadron had me rolling on the floor for a good 5 minutes. If the 1/72 Twin Otter wasn't so flippin scarce, that would be the one I'd do.

Too late for that. The CF-104 with its distinctive screeching engine sound has long been retired.  ;D
