Age taking toll on air force: commander
Lt.-Gen. Angus Watt, the chief of air staff with the Canadian Forces, said in an interview Wednesday that his service is manned by an aging workforce, housed in aging infrastructure and using aging equipment.
"The average age of the aircraft that I operate is 26 years," he said. "They are extremely well maintained, they are always safe but old technology comes with a price and the price gets higher because every year that passes it gets another year older."
