Day in the Life of the RCAF: CC-130H Hercules - Episode 14
Welcome to the final episode of Skies’ Day in the Life of the RCAF series, which ran all throughout 2024 to celebrate the Air Force’s centennial.
In this episode, we explore one of the RCAF’s primary search-and-rescue aircraft types, the CC-130H Hercules. While the Herc is also used for transport missions, its main focus is saving lives.
This massive aircraft can carry roughly 80 passengers, can operate on short, unpaved runways, and has a range of more than 7,200 kilometres.
In this video, hear from 435 Squadron about their day-to-day operations with the CC-130H Hercules.
The Skies team would like to once again congratulate the RCAF on 100 years of service. We ran this Day in the Life of the RCAF UA-cam series all throughout 2024 to highlight the vital missions of our Air Force and the extraordinary individuals who make it all possible. Here’s to the next 100.

      This Tempest has been restored with a Pratt and Whitney engine by KF Aerospace in Canada in place of the Centaurus. The main reason being that the Centaurus is now extremely difficult to obtain adequate spares support for and without very knowledgeable maintenance prone to failure especially in the early mark VI version that the Tempest II used. The airworthy Tempest in the UK does have a Centaurus VI and since it’s maiden flight in 2023 has only flown three more times since due to difficulties with it’s engine

    I could never understand, how a country, as Sweden, with about 1/4 of the population of Canada, can develop cutting-edge fighters as the Gripen and the most quiet, and ergo, 'deadliest' submarine in the world, the Gotlsnd class and Bleking class, yet Canada, not having the will and means (or funding?) to do similar?

    • @ronclark9724
      @ronclark9724 13 днів тому

      Sweden spends more than one percent of their GDP for defense. Canada recently bumped up to 1.3 percent in 2023, but in the past spent less than 1 percent... Sweden spent 2.2 percent GDP for defense in 2022... While Sweden joined NATO recently within the last year, Sweden has spent more than the minimum NATO agreement of 2 percent for decades while Canada has not for half a century. Its difficult to upgrade, maintain, and sustain what military kit you have when you don't spend 2 percent GDP for defense, its why NATO agreed to that number. When you don't spend enough for defense, your military industrial base dies off slowly but surely, and your kit isn't replaced or upgraded soon enough. Canada has REAPED its declining armed forces by neglecting it. Canada has 22 thousand active soldiers, Sweden has 26 thousand active soldiers in its army with a quarter of Canada's population... The numbers do NOT lie...

      I just looked it up, Changes were made several years earlier. Chapter 2, Section 2 of the Canadian Forces Dress Instructions. As long as hair doesn't interfere with a headdress or a helmet, you could have dreads as long as they don't fall below the collar, 1" earlobe spacers, and a tattoo of a little unicorn on your neck, as long as the tattoo cannot be considered a hateful or disrespectful symbol, or one of criminality. When you look at who runs the country, the changing of the standards of dress in the CAF doesn't surprise me. The undergarments section is truncated and right to the point too... Gitch is optional 😂

    That's my baby. Another chap and I wrote the original specs for the training system in the airplane. The development was a rocky road and it took several years to get it done. Eventually got to pick up the first airplane from de Havilland and take it home to Winnipeg. The stuff in the back was pretty cutting-edge at the time and that caused some of the problems. Glad to see it's been updated and remains relevant to today's needs! Might just of been at least partially responsible for the "Gonzo" title. 🙂
