| Are we at war? I work near the airport and all week I've been watching (and listening to... holy **** they're loud) CF-18s take off at hourly intervals... I've never seen this much fighter-jet action here before. |

I'm not quite sure what's seceding means.  ..I bet it's about Québec separate of the rest of Canada!?!...
If is that, they don't need to do anything, Québec will kill himself with that move...
Anyway, We had spend SO Much time out of the contry, I'm not very aware about what's going on in Québec/Canada..... |

| Re: Are we at war? This reminds me. When I was at O'Hare International the other week, flying home from OK, there was an 18 parked next to one of the runways. Nobody in it or around it and I don't recall seeing any armament on it. First time I've seen military jets at a civilian airport before. |

| Re: Are we at war? When I flew to Houston a couple weeks ago we passed by one waiting for a runway as we taxied. It felt a lot like riding on a bus and passing an exotic sports car. Friggin place is swarming with Hornets. |
