The first of Canada's new search and rescue planes has rolled off the production line in Spain, ready for expected delivery to the Royal Canadian Air Force by the end of the year.
The Airbus CC-295 is one of 16 new twin-propeller aircraft Canada ordered in December 2016 to replace the decades-old de Havilland CC-115 Buffalo and Lockheed Martin C-130E Hercules planes in the air force’s fixed-wing search and rescue role.

Lockheed Martin Corp recently raised its estimate for 2019 earnings on as quarterly profit climbed 9.2 per cent amid improved sales of its F-35 fighter jets, but it forecast a lower cash flow for next year and shares dipped in afternoon trading.
The company also said the "preliminary outlook for 2020 assumes there is no impact from U.S. Government actions related to Turkey."

Dealing with health care, affordable housing, pipelines, the environment and healing rifts with Alberta and Saskatchewan are expected to be just some of the top issues facing the minority Liberal government.

A Royal Canadian Air Force CT-144 Tutor from the Snowbirds crashed over the weekend near Atlanta, Georgia. Fortunately, the pilot bailed out in time and was not hurt.
That the RCAF’s aerobatic demonstration team is still flying 56-year-old Tutors would have been like Canada flying Spitfires until the end of the 20th century — except, of course, we stopped flying Spitfires in 1950.

Dear Friend,
The RAF Benevolent Fund has today launched a major new campaign in its centenary year. We are urging the public to help us repay the debt we all owe to our RAF veterans and their families who are in need of help. In particular, we need to reach out to the National Service and World War Two veterans, before it's too late. They put on the uniform of our country when we needed them to, the least we can do is be there for them when they themselves need our help.
