[edit] Aircraft list

I was just looking at [1] and there are some pretty major differences between it and our list. Where did wikipedia get its list from? Does air command still operate Dash 8s and Silver Stars? Which numbers are right/most recent? -Lommer | ^talk 22:35, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• I would suggest updating using the list provided in your link. I reformated the page recently, but did not change the original text for that section. Astrotrain 22:40, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] MHP Inaccuracy

I removed the statement about the Eurocopter Cougar originally being chosen as the MHP winner, but then cancelled. This is untrue. There may have been confusion with the EH-101.

If the aircraft photo section is meant to reflect current roles it needs some changes. The Voodoo has not been in service for about twenty years, and the CT-133 hasn't been used for training since the seventies.

Perhaps a category for retired Air Command aircraft would be in order? It could list aircraft in service after 1968 that have been subsequently retired...

[edit] Proposed Aircraft

The C-17, Chinook, JSF, and C-130J should not be mentioned under "Aircraft on Order" since a contract has not been signed yet for any of them - each is simply one of several candidates for their respective projects. Once the deal is actually done, then OK. Until then, leave them out, or alternatively place under the heading "probable future acquisitions" or some such thing.

Where did the reference to the CF-22 Raptor come from? Is there any outside reference or actual information relating to this or is it purely speculation on the part of the author?
