On the other hand, one thing the Super Hornet HAS going for it is that the Marines never tried to put a lift-fan in it.  ;)

EDIT: Love that Hawk.  :-* Still hope 617 Sqn will paint up one of their Tonkas in that scheme.

I really like these throwback schemes, I think the English Typhoon really nailed it. I like this hawk a lot more than the CF-18, the colors just looked a little "off" to me on the CF-18. YMMV, in before "they used the exact correct colors and you just aren't used to it"  :)

The first Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicles (TAPV) arrived at 5th Canadian Division Support Base Gagetown on Friday 12 August 2016. They were unloaded at building L-33 where a final check took place before the Canadian Army took ownership. The first six vehicles will be used for initial cadre training for operators and maintainers, which is set to start on 22 August 2016. Future lots of vehicles will be delivered to Canadian Army units. Plans are being made to have a TAPV for public viewing at the Army Run in Ottawa in September 2016.

Beautiful shots!!  The top one is clearly a flight of three EP-3E's, the bottom one I'm not so sure of; they are not EP-3E's, but thy have some characteristics that suggest they are more than "garden variety" P-3's.

So, who's going to post the inevitable "better than the F-35" comment?

Just reserving for the F2B once defeated the Turks comment.

Makes you wonder what the operators and maintainers think having such diverse types in service.  I wonder of there is much cross over between the units operating such very different types.

Yes - it is interesting how the black and white picture gives a slightly different impression of the skin then the real thing - as seen in the picture below which if you click upon will reveal a higher res version.
