Cf-18 Hornet

Trenton is the home base for the Hornet Hookers They are the boys that
take care of the MAGS and they are deployed a lot.

Thank you all.

How about that! I never thought that an arrestor cable was part of "safety
systems" at a Canadian air Base, especially where the CF-18 are located . .
.

Never saw one at CFB Trenton though . . .

How come?

How come a tail hook on an aircraft that has never seen a carrier?

Is Canada holding out here? does it have a super-secret carrier that no
one knows about?

Please help!

Thanks much

Hornets in Trenton?


My, my! I have been out of touch . . .

In my day, there were only heavy transport Sqadrons (436, 437, 429 Trg Sqn
and an assortment of others), an AMU (or today, they are calling it 2nd
AMS) unit, of which I used to belong to . . .

There was also an engine repair Squadron located at the North end of the
Base (they made a lot of noise during run ups, especially with F104 engines
and the like).

Oh well . . .

Again, my thanks to you all

During the overhaul of the star fighters at NWI, Edmonton. DND installed an
arrestor cable system at the international
airport. Thats were the star fighters were trucked to for wing install and
test flights. We would string the cable, and the
remove it after the A/C had landed.
