When we observe military aircraft in flight--be it at an airshow or during the flyover of a sporting event--most of us, most of the time, think nothing of the immense behind-the-scenes costs and effort required to make and keep those aircraft flying. From normal servicing and upkeep to the repair or replacement of major aircraft components, the required resources can often reach dozens of man-hours and tens of thousands of dollars per flight hour, especially as technologically-advanced military aircraft age. Here to help us understand these costs, on this episode, is Major Dave "Chucky" Chown of the Royal Canadian Air Force.  As our first non-US guest, Dave spends a few minutes sharing details on the RCAF and some of its missions before diving into a thorough discussion on aircraft maintenance, with the F/A-18 Hornet as the main reference.  Prepare to be amazed at the resources you never knew were required, and forever change the way you observe military aircraft in flight.
