The CC-150 Polaris - essentially a militarized version of the Airbus A310 - is Canada's strategic long-range airlifter, transporter, and air-to-air refueling tanker.
The 5 aircraft flown by the RCAF were built in the 80s for Wardair, and are now over 30 years old. In mid-December, the federal government put out an Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) for suppliers to offer a replacement.
In this video, I talk about the potential replacements for the Polaris, and some options on the second-hand market!
