There are increasing rumours and reports that two things are happening with the Royal Canadian Air Force.
1) that the Snowbirds may be replaced or cancelled.
2) that a decision is imminent on the F35 or split Gripen fighter fleet.
This “long shot” prediction from Esprit de Corps Canadian Military Magazine floats an interesting possibility that could happen as soon as May 19.
They suggest Minister of National Defence McGuinty will simultaneously announce:
1) The Gripen as the fighter of choice (presumably along with partnerships with SAAB).
2) The pause of the Snowbird program.
3) Replacement of the CF-114 Tutor jets with the Gripen for the revamped Snowbirds squadron.
I would approve of this plan!

Chatter out of #Canada prompted this question from AvBrief.com:
"Last Season For the Snowbirds? Canadian Government Mulls Suspending Demo Team"
This is not a done deal by any means. Apparently the Canadian Air Force is down quite a few #pilots, and might be thinking of using these top sticks as non-air show pilots. Article says it might not be a cancellation, just a "five year pause."
We love the #Snowbirds here, hopes this does not come to pass.

#FlashbackFriday 2007.
I was having a picnic with a friend on the boulders at Denniston Park, by the #CFBNaden base in #Esquimalt - when the #CanadianForces #Snowbirds flew over several times. They were doing some #aeronautical maneuvers as part of a military training/connecting event with multiple ally nations.

Hey! CUBA. Dominican Republic, Belize, Turks and Caicos.
A LOT of Canadians WILL NEVER Snowbird in the US Again.
🇨🇦 🇨🇺 🇹🇨Step up marketing in Canada!
Cuba had 936,436 arrivals from Canada. This represented a 176% growth year-over-year and Canadian count for 38% of the total arrivals in Cuba worldwide. The goal for 2024 is set at 1.2 million visitors from Canada.”
Or maybe more

Phone your relatives, make sure they are selling Florida property, cancelling US flights.
Let them know they could be kidnapped by US immigration and sent to Guantanamo, your family wouldn't know.

I’m looking for my tiny violin to play to the woes and concerns of snowbirds, but it has gotten so tiny I can’t find it amongst the toast crumbs at the breakfast table.

CW: Long ramble about Mastodon's "snowbirds"
The people who run over here whenever #Twitter has an issue only to jump right back when the smoke clears are going to end up with fewer and fewer #engagements the more they repeat that routine.
What I have discovered about #Mastodon is it is entirely about conversing. Over on the #birdsite these people would just label folks who embraced commenting on public posts as "reply guys"... as if there was something wrong with daring to intrude on their timelines.
Over here I've realized we're all basically #replyguys and that's how it functions. This place is like an old school #BBS or forum and those were entirely based on chatting it up with anyone who said anything that remotely interested you.
So these #snowbirds who rush over here, post a few things, then disappear again are going to see dwindling numbers for their backup account.
Why would people here continue to waste time on folks who have made it clear they don't want to see your responses and -- even if they do -- are going to fart right off as soon as they can log back into the #algorithm?
After the last #TwitterOutage (the #RateLimit evening) I immediately flagged several accounts from there that had created something here and realized they were like the relative who only shows up when they need money.
Except it isn't $$$ for them, it's those sweet #notifications they want the #Fediverse to supply whole their regular hangout is being fumigated.
On the other hand, for every #ElonMusk ego-fart we do end up with some new people who embrace the difference. So not everyone who races to their password vault for their #instance's credentials is poorly-dressed Uncle Larry.
Anyway it's almost #caturday stateside so here's something for sticking around for this late night #ZZZQuil brain dump. Our big, doofy boy:

Decades ago when I lived in the USA, we called people who moved seasonally from north to the warmer south "Snowbirds" -- and it seems that the EU has a similar thing unfolding right now due to high energy costs for heating.
