That looks like fun!!!

Has anyone here ever lived in, or visited Toronto? My wife and are considering relocating there in the event things here in the U.S. do not get any better over the next few years. This entire debt ceiling issue really makes you wonder what life, and our economy will be like especially if a good resolution cannot be reached.

This is a good idea for consideration in future upgrades.

What I tend to do is open my response with @[their name or username] that way anyone who is not mentioned by name/username would more than likely disregard the comment.

You can always use the messaging feature to send message to a specific individual.

Thank you for the suggestion Kathy.

FORT WORTH, TEXAS (October 4, 2010) - Bell Helicopter, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, announced today that the U.S. Marine Corps' newest attack helicopter, the AH-1Z Cobra successfully completed Operational Evaluation (OPEVAL).

On Sept. 24, the Navy's Aviation program office (NAVAIR) for H-1 Upgrades received official notification from the Navy's Commander Operational Test and Evaluation Force that its AH-1Z helicopters were found to be "operationally effective and suitable" and were recommended for fleet introduction.

"We are pleased and proud that the AH-1Z has completed its operational evaluation," said John Garrison, president of Bell Helicopter. "The AH-1Z is a remarkable aircraft that is only made stronger by the Marine aviators that fly them. We are excited that our warfighters will receive the full benefit of this awesome machine."

The Marine Corps is replacing the two-bladed AH-1W with the AH-1Z, which features a new, four-bladed composite rotor system, performance-matched transmission, four-bladed tail rotor, upgraded landing gear and a fully integrated glass cockpit.

A total of 189 new and remanufactured AH-1Z helicopters are anticipated, with deliveries expected to be complete by the end of 2019.

The AH-1Z Cobra helicopters are part of the U.S. Marine Corps H-1 Upgrade Program. The program's goal is to replace AH-1W helicopters with new and remanufactured AH-1Zs which provide significantly greater performance, supportability and growth potential over their predecessors.

The H-1 Upgrade Program offers 84 percent commonality of parts between the AH-1Z and UH-1Y utility helicopters. This commonality reduces lifecycle and training costs and decreases the expeditionary logistics footprint for both aircraft.

We were worried that we might be having twins but thankfully the sonogram confirmed only 1 bun in the oven :)
