What a sht AI voice

In the Argus crash of 1977 three men died in the crashed two from the fire and one in hospital

What pisses me off is that American aviation has not built something better and cheaper. The consolidation of American aviation and defense industries has failed us .

Like Germany, Canadians should have gotten these advanced planes. They couldn't handle them.

They are back in service . Canada is sending their stock to Ukraine.

I'm here because they just announced the remaining stock is going to Ukraine (though just the motors I guess)

My late Dad worked on the AN/USD 501 trials in Yuma and was CO of the User Trials troop at Shilo, which included English, Canadian, German and Canadair personnel. He noted in his memoirs that Canada bought the minimum number afterward because there were insufficient CF personnel to staff a permanent drone troop.

I wish we (the US) would have got on board with this. I can only imagine what it would be like with decades of improvement

It’s June 2023. There is the beginning of analysis that says we are in world war three now. This fighter jet was not involved in any aspect of it were safe till now. Must’ve done this job.

One of the most beautiful aircraft ever built

just came back to let you know i love the videos you make. i hope you return someday

About to build this rocket for NARAM in Colorado later this year thanks for the history!

by Mike Waters, naval architect I was just informed of this posting by a younger friend who knew I was involved with this project. Forgive this long post, but I think it’s important to share some of Canada’s Maritime history before it’s forgotten and as I turn 90 this year, I had better not wait much longer ;) In the late 50’s I was persuaded to come over from the UK to help Marine Industries expand its market and to develop a design capacity in-house. With appropriate master degrees from the UK, I had knowledge that was impossible to obtain from any university in Canada at the time. One of my first assignments as an naval architect was to help develop a small shipyard in the Gaspe region where unemployment was high. The goal was to teach the locals how to build steel fishing boats, but as the local welders were mostly from garages, we had to find ways for them to weld up ships mostly downhand. For this, I developed a rotating jig so that the bottom, deck and sides could all be accessible downhand by rotating the whole boat in this jig. We started with 78ft trawlers and expanded to 100ft, the maximum we could squeeze in the new shop. I mention this as it was one of two main reasons we won the contract to build the Bras D’Or hydrofoil. The other was that we were the first shipyard in Canada to produce several all-welded aluminum patrol boats, so had experienced aluminum welders on hand. So when talking with the designers (DeHaviland), we were able to offer the superior welding they were looking for, aided by another custom-designed rotating jig, that again enabled welding to be done at the most efficient angle for the highest quality. One thing seldom mentioned in articles about the Bras d’Or is that she was not designed using the typical ‘shell plates over transverse frames’ as common for nearly all ships. The whole 150ft hull was constructed using a special aluminum extrusion. Think of an ‘H’ beam but with one flange of the beam being concentrated into a bulb, but the opposite flange being a very wide but thinner flange. By welding the edges of this wide flange together, the outer shell was formed and the inner ‘bulbs’ became the inner stiffeners of lengthwise stringers. This made the boat hull more like a plane fuselage, something needed as when in motion, this hull would be suspended between the forward steering ‘diamond’ foil and the rear vee foils in what is known as a Canard layout. Readers may be interested to know that this Jig development from Fishing Vessel to the Hydrofoil was acknowledged in a paper I was invited to present in the late 1960’s about Fishing Vessel Design and can be accessed here (in 3 Parts). The Intro to the Article is on the last pages (123-5) of Part 2, but the Rotating Jigs are featured in the first pages of this Part 3 (just change the ‘P3’ to ‘P2’ and then reload to go back) waves-vagues.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/library-bibliotheque/128805_P3.pdf Marine Industries was started by the enterprising Simard family in Sorel after buying the small Mansard boat yard there in 1937, that built small barges and tugs. When the war started in 1939, they became extremely busy turning out cargo ships to get supplies (ammunition, vehicles, aircraft etc) over to the UK as fast as possible for the war effort and were turning out 13 ships per year with a workforce of up to 8,000 .. and all with only ‘paper planning’ before computers were even imagined. When the shipyard was bought and promptly closed in 1988 by a competitor, I was their Director of Engineering & Ship Design, having stayed with them to the end. You can find a brief history of the progressive shipyard on Wikipedia under Marine Industries Ltd. Twenty years later I personally returned to the designing of small sailboats that I had started as a teenager and now specialize in Trimarans via this website www.smalltridesign.com.

Our father was a junior engineering officer for the build in Sorel and made the trip in 1954. My family has always been very proud of his service in Labrador and other ships. Thanks for this video.

Just a quick comment,if you please,I love your videos, informative,professional in every sense,yet, the Portland cello Project is a tad loud,my good man,...it's difficult to hear the facts for you,and,them,playing so wonderfully,...it's either they play or you talk, a board decision has to be made. Otherwise,great job.

It's now been taken over by ARC Aerosystems who have upgraded it to be an electric aircraft.

😂Batteries not included if delivered as Christmas Gift by Santa🎅🏼⛄🎁🤣 Action figures sold seperately in a Toy store near You😢

Warranty Broken if used for any other purposes than as Airshow/Parade show piece, according to Uncle SAM😂

A properly upgraded and overhauled F-5 would complement any of today's fighters.

In the 60s my father was stationed in Summerside and Greenwood and was a pilot of the Argus. As kids once a year they would load us into the plane and fly us up and down the coast. Those days are long gone in RCAF.

I miss Polyus videos...

Anti D A T Shit

Canadian procurement has all ways been busted. Even today we are building ships that can't defend themselves against modern threats. Just like buying the CF-5's with out the a radar. We are constantly under equipping our forces to pinch pennies, but then end up spending far more then everyone else somehow.

Love this video and all your Canadian aviation vids. Wanted to flag for you the need to check the thrust values on the proposed transition to a four-engined architecture. 224 N of thrust each is about 900N total, which is less than my weight. That is not very good and cant be right. kN doesn't fit either. Awkward unit, Newtons.

No way you referenced Body Break

nice french bro

I remember them taking off and landing in Lahr. Very cool aircraft!

That's it? That's your "ultimate weapon"? -Armquist.

Does anyone know why the Dassault mirrarge 3 was not considered for the saber replacement by the Canadian government. The French allowed Australia to build under licence and rework the mirrarge for Australian conditions and Canada does have a French speaking state. Also the mirrarge 3 had an excellent track record against mig 21's, i.e. it was battle proven.

I worked as an Airframes and Engines mechanic for 10 years in the Royal Navy on Seaking Mk5 and Mk4’s from 1984 onwards. They were fantastic workhorses and when you could clear the service schedule for flying for 24 hours and they stayed serviceable they were great. Our system was probably different to the Canadian Navy and from speaking to US Navy mechanics we were totally different. It all depended on the helicopter to be honest some were hardly in the hanger and others seemed to never leave. I loved working on them all the same.

Unfortunately, the Canadian government has become complacent in their belief that they can sit on sidelines, and let the United States become their main defense.

The F-104 is the ultimate '1 trick pony' it was only good at high, fast interception. But it looked so cool.

" I know what happened? The craft was ahead of it's time; And?When something is advanced, humans or members of society does not understand it's full potential or capabilities." 👍

The C5 was an absolute piece of garbage and as usual being a Canadian we are just far too nice and allow for too many things to happen but we’ll sit there and say to ourselves yeah but but but but we got what we wanted no we didn’t and we haven’t no different than what’s coming now think about it in reality you have 60 60 year old F 18s we apparently have purchased half a dozen or a dozen F-18 super hornet’s from Australia which are supposed to tie us over until our order comes through of F 35s not think about it in Canada no different than driving you certainly want to make certain that your antifreeze is checked your oil is checked your guises chat everything is jet you can have a fighter jet and this is what most people don’t understand….. however the result was buying or purchasing junk I am a proud Canadian and it just makes me iamb absolutely furious and there’s smoke coming out of my ears please don’t take this is some kind of crazy threat or anything like that because that’s not what I’m saying however the Canadian government and purchasing the rights and purchasing basically becoming part of the club for the F 35 which was a total scam and we got ripped on that as well….Although I am aware that engines are and have become much more reliable I’ll tell you something right now if I was in cold lake Alberta and it was -22°C in or within the BASS area of cold lake now you can imagine a couple of jets take off from cold lake and ground temperature is -22 Celsius they can go further north as this is where they are looking for stuff in intruders as the ice is melting but the most ridiculous part is…… Canada goes and purchases single engine fighter jets for starters F 35s are not interceptors which is what we need secondly we need dual engine fighter jets that are significant and Ken loiter I’m not certain if anyone knows the meaning of loiter but certainly you can have a jet fighter which can travel 6000 km which I’m exaggerating however this pretend or imaginary jet can travel 6000 km and complete one circle of the site and unfortunately it must return back to BASS to be refuelled or to hit a tanker it’s the worst thing we can do is purchase of 35s and I don’t know where we can even start cancelling that it was a tit-for-tat thing going back because the American government although we contributed billions of dollars into the development of the F 35 unfortunately we should’ve known when We would turn this off and actually purchase a 15s because that’s what we need in Canada we need dual jet fighters which are quick and it may seem like it’s old hag news because the plan is 40 years old but not necessarily we could get exes I bet you we could get 180 “EX” this stuff just frustrates me and I get beside myself where I am almost shaking simply because it’s not realistic and what we need at this point and what we can afford it was either griffins or F-15’s this is what we need and we need an active strong proven dual engine fighter jet I don’t think we need to worry about the stealth and all that nonsense I think what we need is vessels to protect within also to be able and capable to be recommissioned to another location in the perfect world we can have 19 different aircraft such as we all know we need transport aircraft we need refuelling aircraft we need aircraft which will basically haul around our so-called military officials unfortunately and I’ve been there where things got wrapped up a bit earlier and some guys were hanging out on C5 and they got in trouble because this was not to happen I am a steamfitter and I was installing heating elements at the ceiling of a hanger I had tethers on pipe wrenches and screwdrivers as an example the point being it doesn’t really matter to me that I will lose everything because I already have when someone says everything everything means the family or La Familia

Cette soucoupe, ne verra jamais le jour, en son vol aérien. Sa propulsion axiale est contraire à la logique physique, d ou son instabilité horizontale et altitude. Cette soucoupe finira dans un musée. Seule l induction magnétique honorera sa fonction existentielle physique. Notre planète est doté d un champ magnétique ou l on pourrait l exploiter physiquement. L induction est la principale préoccupation physique.

I hear you.

I think your channel is fantastic, well done and very accurate. I think you love Canada like me. Keep up the great work. How about a follow up on the “Sir John A. MacDonald” and the “Louis St. Laurent”. I known the latter is still turning screws but that is ok. She is already famous. Give it a go please.

Should have just bought A-4 Skyhawks as replacements

If you are making a vid about the Arrow maybe it would be good to devote time on the USSR espionage alleged to have been a problem at AVRO, and throughout the program, and the implications for future Cdn. access to advanced defence products.

The pine tree line was further north. I’m here in Beaverlodge Alberta which is a shade north of where Alberta/BC border goes straight north. We had a pine tree line base about 5miles out of town on Saskatoon mtn which was more a large hill than anything. The town still has the trailer park where the troops lived off base that’s just a grassy field with lots to park trailers. The base radar antenna is located at the Pioneer museum just north of the town now

Canadian governments have a history of overspending on everything except the Armed Forces (except during wartime of course). The government would rather spend the money on helping every 3rd world country and every terrorist group, rather than the military. I guess they believe that if everyone one loves us, they won't attack us.

The Canadian defense procurement process as it stands right now, is one of the biggest threats to the security of our country. It instantly bottlenecks timely procurement of sorely needed equipment, all in the name of low cost and ROI, and it inevitably ends up costing 2-5 times more because the military is left scrambling to either find “temporary”band-aid solutions or dumping a whole lot of money into modernizing/refitting equipment which is well past it’s lifespan. (Sea King helo’s for example.)…(continued)

I don't see how this plane revolutionized cargo transport? It was only sold in small quantities, thus not an economically viable development for the factory that made it.

A perfect second chance design

'We' had them at CFB Chatham, NB. What I remember most was the cyclical nature of intense flying. I recall being told there were always more voodoos flying near the end of the month because the individual pilot flight hour quotas were assessed at the end of each month. I've always found that to be strange. If I were flying a voodoo I would have thought I would be flying one at every available opportunity.

Awesome footage of the worlds most badass all weather interceptor at the time.

Great video, but please learn to pronounce “Restigouche” (it sounds like her nickname “Rusty Guts”) and also “Saguenay”, sounds like “Sag-en-ay”.

How many projects could we have with all the cancelled programs?

f35 process shows it’s still a clusterfuck.
