Postal Delivery Services - Gone

-

*******************************************************

Our next door neighbor who looks after our driveway and mail has 
bought a condo and planning to sell his house. We will have to make 
some changes and get someone to do our mail and snow removal in 
the Winter. The mail service here is trying to install those central
type mail boxes, everyone hates the problems it will cause, especially
with the Winter's we have here.

Old age catches up with everyone and we will be faced with 
the same problem in a few years, at least we have lots of time to make
decisions. 
*********************************************
In case you are thinking of an extended Holiday from  Canada's
Winter and you still want your mail. Here is what it costs. Now 
if you live in the good old USA this service is free. 
By the way it's TAX FREE DAY in Ontario.. How much
do we pay in taxes  - last I heard around 49%. That puts
a crimp in your Holiday plans.

No A380's For Air Canada

    Boeing's twin-engined Dreamliner will be a much smaller aircraft -- seating 200 to 300 passengers -- with the latest engines and materials, and upturned wingtip "winglets," for maximum efficiency. For the cost of a single Airbus A380 (about $250-$300 million), an airline could conceivably have two or three 787/7E7 Dreamliners, or more. Declining wages for airline pilots are likely to make such a multiple-plane scenario less costly than before.   Air Canada is targeting seven major Canadian cities as departure points for the long-range Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The first plane in the carrier’s order for 37 Dreamliners will arrive in the first quarter of 2014, followed by six more of the aircraft that year, said Ben Smith, Air Canada’s chief commercial officer. "Starting in the first quarter 2014, AirCanada expects to take delivery of our first of 37 Boeing 787 Dreamliners aircraft, comprised of (15) 787-8s and (22) 787-9s,"   The carrier will now expect six 78...

Canada and the F-35

-
Image
The Boeing X-32, left, and the Lockheed X-35 competed for the DoD contract to produce the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) in 1997. Both companies received 0 million grants to build prototypes. The new single-engine, Mach-1 capable aircraft needed to be stealthy and provide robust situational awareness to the pilot during attacks on ground targets and when fighting in air-to-air engagements. It also needed to meet the specifications of the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps as well as nation partners. Lockheed won the competition which would eventually produce the F-35 Lightning II.
