Forces would pare aircraft, ships to finance new equipment
The Canadian Forces have recommended to retire six Aurora maritime patrol aircraft and up to 25 per cent of its fleet of Griffons to pay for new equipment.

The money saved from the retirement of the Griffons will go towards paying for the Chinooks.

The Auroras will be replaced by UAVs and a structural life extension program has been shelved.
