I had the pleasure of taking a CH47 to "Chinook" country, ie Lethbridge, a few years back. Ah, the delights of mountain flying in the Crowsnest Pass - a glorious area. Not to forget of course, "head-smashed-in-buffalo-jump"! Really liked Alberta (esp "Cowboys" in Calgary!), but when it's time for me to jump across I'm looking at Ontario. There are plenty of RAF guys coming to the end of engagements looking to move to Canada. I've heard of jobs being offered in Halifax, Ottawa and Toronto recently. My buddies in the CF tell me that anyone with CH47, C130J or C17 experience would be most welcome - not just to crew/maintain but also for industrial backup, project experience and Simulation sectors.
Good luck Sumps. Let us know how you get on.
