F-35 Orders Cancelled: A Starfighter Ordered?

           In a breaking news article that broke on May 4 2022, the Canadian government has abruptly cancelled their orders for F-35s in the wake of a new fighter entering the CF-18 replacement program last minute- the Sienar Flight Systems TIE/IN. Sienar has obtained massive contracts with an unnamed Galactic Empire in a far, far away galaxy, as well as a mining guild located in the same galaxy. Their products are cutting edge, as they also manufacture interceptors, bombers, transports, and even drones.


          The RCAF TIE/IN fighters will number 100 units, with orders being delivered in 2023. The TIE/IN is capable of spaceflight and can carry all NATO standard equipment with modifications. The starfighter has two general purpose blasters canons and is outfitted with an l-a2b solar ionization reactor and SFS P-s4 Twin Ion Engines, and a top atmospheric speed of 1,200 kilometers an hour. Sienar has stated in a press release that Canadian models will also be equipped with ejection seats and options for a class one hyperdrive and shields. Sienar has hinted that they will be opening a plant in Canada to support TIE/IN production, but nothing has been confirmed by the Canadian government yet. The TIE/IN is clearly the superior option for F-35 orders, as it doesn't rely on fossil fuels but solar energy, which no doubt helped convince the government that it was a better option... as well as some force choking of the defence minister from an unnamed Sith Lord. 


          Incom Corporation was also a late entry into the Canadian competion with their T-65 X-Wing fighter, but was ejected out of the competition under mysterious circumstances. The T-65 is currently used by an unnamed military alliance in the same galaxy Sienar is located. Incom claimed that the TIE/IN is an inferior design and that the Canadian government is imperial apologists. They could not be reached by the WOTP team for comment, as they seemed to have blocked our holonet communications.


          May the fourth be with you!

A long absence.

           So I've been quiet for sometime. So quiet in fact, some people might wonder if I've moved on from writing blogs here and creating content on YouTube. The resounding answer to that is no, I haven't moved on.            To say that the past year in the world has been crazy is an understatement. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, getting married, a busy work schedule, and other WOTP team members being tied up with life, I decided it was best to take a hiatus and wait for everything to get back on track. With the snow quickly melting and restrictions being lifted across the country, I've decided it's time for us to strap into the cockpit and get working on content again. So what's in store?           I have a few episodes planned, but only one is set in stone to begin production after a year of delays- the little known incident known as the 1946 RCAF Dakota crash in Estevan Saskatchewan. I have been i...

Museum Review: Saskatchewan Aviation Museum

Image
            Two days ago I had the pleasure of visiting the Saskatchewan Aviation Museum in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I have communicated with many of the museum personnel often since starting the Wings Of The Prairies project, and have been meaning to visit for quite some time. I originally planned my trip around filming the museum's Aviation Days event, but unfortunately it was canceled and the hotel room couldn't be refunded due to a concert. Thankfully though, my wife and I are coming up on our one year anniversary and used the opportunity to make it into an anniversary trip! Due to my previous discussions with museum personnel, they knew who I was fairly quickly. I was told I could take photos or video of whatever I wanted to... so I did just that and gave myself a self-guided tour. Here's my thoughts about the museum and my first visit.          Overall, it's a really great museum! I've been to museums where the collections are...

Ghosts Of The Prairies: The Tale Of The BCATP in Saskatchewan

          In a future video I intend on telling the tale of one particular aircraft type in the province of Saskatchewan, the Avro Anson. Many flew in the skies of Canada at one point, yet few remain. Most people will think that these relics of past conflicts are located only in museums, and yet they hide in plain sight. Recently, a gentlemen by the name of Lester Hinzman discovered the wreck of one airframe and with the help of a fellow Canadian Aviation Historical Society member I managed to get in contact with Mr. Hinzman. Not only did he agree to let me come film his Anson for the episode I have planned, but I agreed to help him locate a second Anson in his area that I’m aware of. There are many articles out there on his discovery of his Anson, but upon reaching out to him I learned that he has no plans to restore the aircraft; the price tag is just too big. Instead it will be used as a learning tool to bring attention to the British Commonwealth Air Trainin...
