Kinda funny that the top-ranked topic of discussion is about how the ability to scam some shitty free food is now becoming less possible...

Viva l'Aviation Canadienne!

Go Czech Republic!

Exactly!! Pack a lunch! Or get off your wallet and buy a coffee.

More often than not I see the wing walkers waiting in the bridge to see the aircraft start moving before they come out. This usually results in them trailing the tug by several, if not 10's of, meters behind the tug holding up their wand.

You're OFF for your 8 weeks. They may ask if you're interested in a charter if it comes up, you can say no. I imagine the bond still exists.

Voyageur would be a quick upgrade for you.

I'll be finding out soon enough, but how bad is it in the US?

Ummm, there's a 3 page thread 4 lines down on this topic. Ummmm that thread is over 5 years old, so unless you've been living under a rock for the last 2 months you know the wawcon have changed significantly. He's just trying to spark the conversation again. Take your smart attitude elseswhere, it'...

I'm with the "at this time" crowd...drives me insane! How about, "currently showing"? or, "currently showing XX NAUTICAL MILES at this time."? Or reading back EVERY.SINGLE.WORD. ......RAGE!!!!

Ummm, there's a 3 page thread 4 lines down on this topic.

Touche, but not exactly a run of the mill machine...hopefully not

A louder turbo prop, you will not hear!

Some of these posters are hilarious. A non-event. I'm pretty sure a smoked filled/human filled cabin following an engine failure qualifies as an "event." And to say that people are crazy for wanting to get out, and that you'd be all cool as a cucumber, telling other people to relax just proves that ...

Some talk of ELT or "signal" off coast of Vietnam.

It is indeed sad kids can't visit up front. Joey, do you like movies about gladiators? :shock:

I cart around the Sigma 10-24, makes for great cockpit shots and interesting A/C shots. For range shots I also carry the Nikkor 55-200. Would like to get the f 1.4 35 or 55...thoughts?
