CANADA Air Force starve for Combat

Wheat producing countries have become NATO members since 1949 is in fact continuing to build a massive water power. Cutting-edge planes that have RCAF, especially in the F/A-18 Hornet was even up grade technology and weaponry, so ready to be deployed to any kind of battlefield.
Although as a country located in the continental U.S. and has never been colonized and much of the conflict, simply fill penngalaman RCAF fighter. The first time you have the airplane, the Silver Dart, the aircraft created in 1909, five years later was sent to England and operated in World War I. In 1918, thanks to the support of Britain, the Canadian government has even formed RCAF fighter squadron which has two. Not only the AU that was formed, in the same year Canada also formed a Navy (RCN). Duties include carrying out patrols RCN antikapal dive using aircraft capable of landing on water.
Between 1918-1924, Canada considers a world without war was safe so that the development of water power is experiencing stagnation or even decline. Increased ability to rise again when the new RCAF World War II broke out. Marked formation of 15 squadron and some of them are combat ready squadron sent to the European field.
Post-World War II mission that must be implemented RCAF was much reduced. For duty in peacetime, have enough RCAF squadron of five and 12,000 personnel. The amount is considered adequate given the task was not a combat mission. When Canada joined NATO and involved the Korean War in 1950, the number of RCAF personnel began to increase. Noticeable increase drastically when the Cold War to make sacrifices. The number of RCAF personnel swelled to 54,000 people. However, the pilots did not immediately plunge into battle.
In 1964 again drastic changes in body RCAF and this event is part of history itself. For the sake of effectiveness and professionalism, the Canadian government combines three kekuata air at once between the three forces. RCAF, the Navy and Army forces into one unit of Canadian Forces. Although it has been merged into a single force, RCAF still has its own characteristics ranging from uniforms and marks of rank. In general, the sign of rank and RCAF uniform still has similarities with relatives such as AU New Zealand and Australia AU.
After joining forces into one unit, the development of RCAF still progressing. From 1968 until now now (2007) RCAF has had a variety of aircraft such as the CC-150 Polaris to the F/A-18 Hornet. Of the jet fighters, Hornet received more attention from the RCAF since Mc-made combat aircraft. Donnell Douglas has proven resilient in the field of the Gulf War.

Special variants

PZL Mielec and talk about the Polish Navy, like it or not, leads us to menyambangi maritime aircraft An-28. From the beginning, it was decided to create a prototype using the airframes that have been made to the Soviet Union but is still stored in warehouses Mielec after Russia refused to send.
Rejection is not independent of political changes in Poland. Although the An-28 aircraft orders already in progress in Russia Mielec since 1984, political changes in Poland that began in the 1990s had dropped communism in central Europe. In the end, meant the end of cooperation between the two countries. Thus the An-28 owned factories with civil registration SP-DDC, modified into a naval prototype and perform all necessary testing.
After a few years, development began to show bright spots and Mielec prepared two variants of this aircraft for maritime needs. The first plane is the An-28TD (aka Desantowy Transportowo-Transport and Parachuting) capable of carrying loads over 3806 lb (1750 kg). be it goods, paratroopers or special forces operations. With a little adaptation and installation of medical equipment, aircraft capable of carrying six wounded on stretchers or more of seven people when seated.
The next modification complete version of An-28RM (Ratownictwo Morskie-Maritime Rescue) equipped with SAR equipment including radar search on the surface of the ARS-100 with a coverage of 100 km. Radar merupaka local production by the factory Prezemyslowy Poland Instytut telekomunikacji (Telecommunications Research Institute) is, mounted on the underside of the fuselage. radar is also capable of monitoring the sea and the coastal strip as well as identifying the location of transponder personal savior. Besides the aircraft can also be equipped with automatic data transmission system LS-10 Leba, two under the wings of the SAB-100nm illumination flares weighing 100 kg and six lifeboats seat privilege-6 that can be sent by air.
An-28RM first with tactical number 1022 has been handed over to 7. Pulk Lotnictwa Special Aviation Regiment) on October 27, 1994. Regiment is based at Siemirowice Cewice. Although there are some problems, the presence of this aircraft soon take care personnel in the unit.
Mengiuti experience with this plane, with his new, more modern equipment, these aircraft didesainasi as M28B Bryza-1R. After that all An-28/M-28 AL Poland and all its derivatives are designed to be Bryza, who is also Breeze or Sea Breeze.
Testing for all equipment installed in the aircraft carried out in 1997, using tactical aircraft development with number 0810 who later became the standard aircraft for series production variant. This aircraft, although many years owned by the Polish Navy, do not fly operationally in the AL. The plane is then used as a test aircraft by the manufacturer as part of program development. Created in 1992, the aircraft has not been formally handed over until January 15, 1999.
Once the modification and testing completed, the first production of An-28RM with tactical number 1022, was sent to PZL Mielec to upgrade in order to correspond with the new standard. Then sent over from 1999, followed shortly by two other planes. Both were built and over again so new, as the An-28 Bryza 1R and posted on February 26 and March 31, 1999.
Recently this aircraft equipped with Chelton DF-707-1 emergency locator, transponder Radwar SC-1002 NATO-compatible IFF (Identification Friend or Foe), and MSC-400 system. ARS-400 radar including serach and surveillance system capable of 360 degrees and CCS-400 command.

Bryza now
Currently there are 13 uniy An-28 in the Polish Navy squadron, consisting of five different variants. Ie An-28, An-28TD, An-28E, An-28B1R, and An-28B1RM Bus. 28.EL Squadron (Air Squadron AL) berpangkalkan in Gdynia-Babie Doly only operates three aircraft: two An-28TD and an An-28. Then 30.EL in Siemirowice-Cewice 28B1R operates seven An-An-28E and two plus one An-28B1RM Bus unit is handed over in 2008.
In addition, beginning in August 2008 there were only seven aircraft could be flown in conditions. An A-28 sent to the maintenance center to carry out overhaul in Gdynia-Babie Doly. Included in this overhaul program is a replacement machine. Two An-28B1R also sent to the GOT (Grupa Obslugi Technicznei) to carry out routine checks.
Whichever comes first, the first enspeksi planned after approximately 200 hours flying or 12 months or equivalent to 400 times the landing. Inpeksi both done after 600 flying hours or 24 months or even 1,200 times landing. Finally, the third inspection determined after 1,200 hours flying or 48 months comparable to 2,400 times the landing. The remainder of this fleet is a unit of An-28E and two An-28B1R, just past the middle line to wait their turn the engine replacement.
An-28 Bryza Polish Navy SAR unit’s duties as an important part of the Polish national SAR system. The crew of the “Ekologs” (for this mission in cooperation with the Council their maritime) ecological monitoring mission on the Exclusive Economic Zone in the Baltic Sea. While carrying out the functions of An-28TD transport logistics to support opersi Polish Navy ships far from the base, mostly in the Atlantic Ocean or Mediterranean Sea. Additionally AN-28TD transport variant is also used for parachuting exercise.
In 2007, Bryza 28.EL collected more than 412 hours of flying. Until July 2008, this aircraft had 241 flight hours membuukan. While the plane of 30.EL reaches 844 flying hours in 2008. Looking ahead, the presence of An-28E Bryza Polish Navy and operated by experienced personnel, is estimated to be flown until 2019. While according to some of its personnel, other variants will be maintained until 2013.
