In Part 2, Capt Dylan Gilje-Allan and Capt Matt Chretien take listeners inside Canada's P-8 Poseidon SEEDCORN program and their transition from the CP-140 Aurora to operational flying with the Royal Air Force. They discuss P-8 training, automation, crew coordination, and the differences between the Aurora and Poseidon. The conversation also covers tracking Russian submarines in the Atlantic, flying operational missions shortly after training, life at RAF Lossiemouth, and how Canada is preparing the next generation of Long Range Patrol crews years before the aircraft enters service.
