Going out to Vancouver in a couple weeks for a business trip, and wondering if its feasible to rent a 172 from a local flight club for some sightseeing while out there?

Solid propellant will fracture with age, leading to unstable/uneven combustion, and ultimately, explosions rather than controlled burn. They very definitely have a shelf life.

Ya, i saw that, no emergency calls in the plane to pax either apparently, which may be the engine/electrics failure confirmation, or at least lend it some more credence

Early word is that the pilot had to deadstick it into the field... lost both engines and electronics while inbound, if so, bloody good job getting it in at all.

no charge from google, but if your plan charges you to send txt msgs', your on the hook for that.

Undocumented, and beta, but very cool.

send a text message to googl (46645) and in the body type 'METAR CYKF' or any other ICAO identifier..

within a minute, get the lastest METAR back to your phone/blackberry etc.

Free service from google... and very very useful.

Enjoy!
