Talk:List of active Canadian military aircraft

List of active Canadian military aircraft
I am wondering if the above article now serves any purpose or should it just be redirected here? They cover the same ground and this one is far more complete. - Ahunt (talk) 14:40, 4 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I think you are right the active list does not really have any content. MilborneOne (talk) 15:03, 4 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Sounds good. Just out of politeness I have asked the same question over there. Give it a couple of days and lacking any objections, I will make the redirect. - Ahunt (talk) 15:11, 4 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay, done. - Ahunt (talk) 12:10, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

F-35 Lightning II
I have removed the F-35 from the list of aircraft because Canada has not yet ordered the aircraft and still may not order the F-35. The reference that was given only directed to a website that talked about the governments possible purchases of fighter aircraft. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.12.68.75 (talk) 20:58, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Canada still funded part of the project but I do understand that we are not commited to purchase. On another note, anyone think of adding the avro arrow to the list? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.246.99.59 (talk) 09:12, 31 January 2010 (UTC)


 * The Avro Arrow was never more than a test and development aircraft and never entered service. - Ahunt (talk) 14:23, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Use of serial numbers
The use of aircraft serial numbers in this article is as per WikiProject Aviation/Registrations which indicates that they are not used in this situation. Except in certain particular cases serial numbers are for fan and aircraft spotting websites, not an encyclopedia. If you have a problem with the guidelines, please discuss at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aviation/Registrations. - Ahunt (talk) 15:46, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

ScanEagle & Maveric
Neither of the UAVs fall under 1 CAD. They are employed 100% by Army pers. and other than Flight Permits have Zero to do with the Air Force. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.34.217.217 (talk) 22:01, 3 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I think we can take care of that with a note. - Ahunt (talk) 00:06, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

pre 1968
Why stop at 1968,why not all Canadian military aircraft. Or is there another list somewhere that could be linked from this article?188.65.183.52 (talk) 12:45, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The article was original entitled List of aircraft of the Canadian Forces and so covered 1968 and on. The govt's reinstatement of the term Royal Canadian Air Force rather muddied the scope of the article, but I agree something needs to be done to address the problem. - Ahunt (talk) 12:58, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Redundant list?
This list repeats much of the same information found in the List of aircraft of Canada's air forces, and to add to the confusion, the term "List of RCAF aircraft" redirects to that article even though this article includes "Royal Canadian Air Force" in the title! Has anyone considered combining these 2 seemingly redundant lists? Carguychris (talk) 17:35, 27 May 2015 (UTC)


 * See reply at Talk:List of aircraft of Canada's air forces where the same question has been asked so as not to fragment any discussion, thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 17:42, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

CF-188 counts
Current counts is only for version A. Should we keep both version in the same row or as two separated row? I've change the count to total now. --Denev2004 (talk) 00:06, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Redundant List.... again
This list repeats much of the same information found in the Royal Canadian Air Force (WP:REDUNDANTFORK). Since that page seems to be better maintained than this list. I propose to just remove this list and make redirect to that page. Ckfasdf (talk) 14:21, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
