I was in Lloydminster and watched it happen live on ABC morning news. Having a few more calls to make on my way home, I went through CFB Cold Lake. Every CF18 that was available on base was armed to the hilt, idling on the taxiways to all three runways. Just seeing that, and knowing what OUR pilots are capable of with that equipment shook me. Realizing, upon seeing what they were equipped with, and the individual capablilities of the pilots in their particular piece of equipment, rattled me to the core. I would not like to have OUR RCAF on my rear end!!! They, by any and all accounts, are THE BEST in the world, bar none!!
