Falcons and patriotism

Post by tankbuster »

Why does an organisation that proudly flies the flag at every available opportunity insist on jumping out of Canadian registered aircraft?

Because we the taxpayers are paying for it, and the Canadians put in the cheapest compliant bid.

And with the height they jump from, the vast majority of those watching wouldn't know it was Canadian.

A better question might be why does part of an organisation whose finest hour was the Battle of Britain, jump out of a Dornier?

Weirdly enough, for the exact same reason.

If it annoys you so much go buy a suitable aircraft, crew it to the MOD requirements and offer it cheaper.
