I thought we had 18 Auroras, where are the other four?

Defence Minister says putting off buying new planes was the RCAF's idea. I don't see the Air Force pushing to keep old gear, unless it ensured the survival of something more important on their wish list.

Vote NDP or Liberal....they`ll just tell the military upfront not to expect any support

They probably got scrapped for their Z-80 processor boards.

My guess is the museums needed a few more Cold War relics for their collections.

They better not be up on a pole somewhere.
