🇨🇦 #RCAF CC-144C/D Challenger (3/4, 75% ✅)
‣ The aircraft of 412 Transport Squadron are normally extremely busy, so a 3+ week break sticks out. 144618 must be working through some stuff.

Gripe:
The CAF display poor situational awareness re public visibility of 🇨🇦 #RCAF aircraft.
Examples:
- #14WingGreenwood deployments to Keflavik
- #19WingComox #OpCARIBBE Jan/Feb 2023
- #CANSOFCOM ISR over #Ottawa Jan 27/28 2022
- Withdrawal x2 CC-130J from #OpIMPACT Aug 2022

What about #14WingGreenwood deployments to Keflavik?
It's only a matter of time before the CP-140 Aurora deployments to Keflavik, that coincide with Russian Navy movements through the GIUK gap, get traction in the press.
They pretend it's not happening. We see them. 🤦♂️

What about the #19WingComox #OpCARIBBE Jan/Feb 2023 operation?
They pretended the press couldn't see it happening and wouldn't talk about it like it was some secret operation. Au contraire, it was so visible I live-tweeted it.

"The operation involved (...) supporting and operating four F-35s, three CF-18s, four KC-135s, one CC-150, one E-3, and one CH-149."
Okay, let's add them up. 🧵

🇨🇦 #RCAF CC-149 Cormorant 149902 #C2B107 deployed from #14WingGreenwood on 2023-01-11, headed to to Iqaluit, in preparation for #NORAD Operation #NobleDefender.
The operation was from the 15th to the 31st, true, but preparations started before that.

🇨🇦 In June the #RCAF participated in a Search and Rescue exercise based out of Lajes, in The Azores, and for some reason didn't think the Canadian public wanted to know, so they didn't tell anyone anything.
It might have been part of #ASAREX #ASAREX22 #ASAREX2022, I can't tell.

I'm unclear when the exercise started or ended, but their call sign suggests they began to prepare in early June

🇨🇦 When #RCAF #14WingGreenwood personnel misconfigure their plane's transponder with a placeholder to fill in a blank (12345677), it suggests they can't be bothered to look up the right value. If so, what else are they skipping, and how does that affect the aircraft's safety?
On 2022-04-27 the same #RCAF CC-130H aircraft, now correctly configured, flew again, showing personnel at #14WingGreenwood can configure a CC-130H Mode-S transponder properly, eventually.
How many days will it be before the same mistake is made again?
#C2AFB3 ≠ #29CBBF

Last time it was about three weeks before someone was struck with amnesia.
🇨🇦 The #RCAF #14WingGreenwood newsletter "The Aurora" is really well done; newsletters feel pre-digital to me, but I'm not anti-newsletter. I can't help but read these articles about #413SQN #SAR and know they'd make fantastic Twitter content.

If #14WingGreenwood was interested in publicising the tempo of their SAR operations w/ @hfxjrcc they could investigate transmitting ADS-B from their CH-149, CC-130H, and other aircraft. Mode-S alone doesn't transmit lat/lon, and reduces public visibility of their operations.
Yes, I'd love them to start using ADS-B with the CP-140M Block 4 fleet too, but I don't think they're going to improve the visibility of our sub-hunters, which are extremely busy on ops and exercises, and hardly ever mentioned in the news.
🇨🇦🇨🇴 Someone with better intel on Canadian-Colombian military relations might recognize what these flights are indicative of; I don't. Before I lose track of which Royal Canadian Air Force CC-130J transports flew to #Colombia in September for an exercise(?), lets document them.
First, remember that the RCAF CC-130H fleet stay at home like red headed step children; they do SAR and other domestic taskings. We just need to watch where the CC-130J fleet has been internationally.

Secondly, remember that a callsign stays the same for an entire mission; same callsign, same mission. Dropping off/picking up the same people, returning from dropping things off, or brining things back; it would all be one callsign.
Sequential call-signs are usually related too.
