Canadians getting ready to fly Chinooks

Canadians getting ready to fly Chinooks:

"FORT RUCKER, Ala. -- The first Canadians slated to fly helicopter combat missions in Afghanistan have been secretly training for duty since last March at an army base in Alabama.

'We are going to save a lot of lives and directly affect combat operations,' said Lieutenant-Colonel Roger Gagnon of Hawkesbury, Ont."

Yeah, 'cause our dumbass politicians sold off our previous Chinook fleet in the late 80's, to the Netherlands.
