The Canadian Air Force's SeaKing helicopters are anti-submarine aircraft. How do they work? Thanks for asking! It's simple! See, we take our SeaKing (assuming it starts and lifts off) out to the water, above the submarine, okay? And then the rotors crap out, engine dies, the whole nine yards. SeaKing falls on submarine and bam! No more submarine. It's the perfect aircraft. ...And they're only... forty... years old. -_-

And that's why we <3 Bra.

Seriously, I couldn't breath for a bit.

I wish I was joking. ;_;

I remember about four years ago, some dumbfuck crashed his boat off the coast of BC. So we sent out a military search and rescue team to find them. In a SeaKing. They found 'em. And then they crashed because the engine failed. Another SeaKing was dispatched to save the previous team. It crashed. I'm dead serious. A -third- one was sent out, and although they experienced critical failures, they were able to complete the mission and bring everyone back.

Needless to say, Canada has some of the best chopper pilots in the world because of our hardware shortcomings. We're one of the only countries to have chopper teams that land on aircraft carriers -without- being towed in. Even in stormy weather. They're fuckin' crazy.
