The appraiser isolates and reviews each element one at a time, developing dollar or percentage adjustments to account for each difference. The final step in determining the appro- priate market rent is taking the results of the data collection and the analysis of comparable market rental properties and reconciling this information into a single rent figure. This figure becomes the Base Shelter Value (BSV) for the married quarter. The annual review by CMHC ensures that married quarter shelter charges are always current and move with the cycles in the local housing markets. Where shelter charges for CF housing are less than local market values, shelter charges are increased in a phased manner.

Brassington. “This is a significant amount of hours considering the average CF-18 mission takes one hour. That equals about 400,000 flights or potential missions.” The CF-18 that attained this honour has 4,330 hours and is easily recognized by its tiger motif paint scheme created for the 2003 air show season. Canada’s Air Force has 92 CF-18 aircraft based at 3 Wing in Bagotville, Que. and 4 Wing in Cold Lake, Alta. The twin engines of this supersonic fighter-bomber jet delivers over 7,000 kilograms of thrust and can reach speeds of up to Mach 1.8, or over 2,000 kilometres per hour. The CF-18 plays a critical role in the air defence of North America under the bi-lateral NORAD agreement, a role that has evolved considerably since the events of Sept. 11, 2001.
