seems to be confirmed as P-8. The write up suggests they were doing circuits and overshot the runway.

Because a USN crew overshot a runway?

Because some numpty at BBD will weaponize it.

See…BBD hasn’t weaponized anything…that, right there, is the problem.

Wait…you were talking public relations, not warplanes?

I actually want that to happen, just to see every single pilot in the world rise up and laugh.

That is a rough day right there. Glad all the crew made it out. These type of incidents don’t always have happy endings.

I’m not sure if a trip to Indonesia in an Aurora was designed to convince folks to get a move on with CMMA, but chef’s kiss.

Likely the real-worl potential impact to Canadian aerospace companies that benefit from Boeing keeping operations in Canada. Business wise, what Canada would gain from an (eventual) incremental blip of production through Bombardier could be significantly offset should Boeing just decide to reset its existing Canadian operations to America.

Also, PwC needs to be held to account on its 22,000 new jobs figure…that seems….imaginative!

Meanwhile, BBD has ensnared the CCC in its idiotic scheme: Canadian defense giants unite to create new patrol aircraft

This appears far from over.

Well maybe over for the Canadian economy.

Real world implications being that as @Good2Golf points out, if Canada wants to play stupid games, we can take our ball and go home, and the pain point is vastly larger for Canada.

The CCC needs a phone call from it's government masters. Ay best, they should be quiet enablers, not cheerleaders.
