Pictures deleted...wrong aircraft. Thank for the heads up...

Sitting in the parking lot of the Aviation Museum last night while this little drama played out some time after 1900... From my vantage point, it looked like the port landing gear got stuck in the soft ground while taxiing from the cargo ramp to Runway 31. The pilot appeared to waggle the rudder and...

My apologies for resurrecting this post, but...

At last I needn't worry about the hand o' the Cap'n clamping down on my shoulder and.... "Alright laddy, the jigs up!"

They're either safe (which they are) or they're not. If the FAA says you can use them, you can. Wouldn't want to be the flight crew who says differently, and has it get back to the FAA! Contrary to politically correct belief, the crew can NOT walk on water. There is no interference caused by these d...

Just so we're clear....the original poster referred to "my little scanner", which I assumed meant something like one of the handheld scanner models I mentioned. A passive scanning receiver, not something that transmits a signal like a cell phone, amateur radio transciever, HERF-gun, etc.... I defini...

I vaguely recall this subject being discussed on this forum a few years ago.... The subject of radiation given off by consumer electronics has been discussed (...and beaten to death!) elsewhere on the web....Google TEMPEST or RF-shielded equipment. The RF radiation generated by the BFO (beat frequen...

If you are looking for a confrontation, you will get it... I bring my scanner on every flight. Always get a window seat, and have my BC235XLT, AR8000, BC245XLT, BC296D tucked discreetly beside me... A little ear bud snaking up to my left/right ear...maybe with my head leaning in that direction to fe...

Sounds vaguely like the situation north of Thunder Bay...

I recall being the recipient of the screening detailed in this article when flying from Ben Gurion to Athens on Olympic Airlines. Lined up for check in, young, smiling male and female security personnel moved along the line, asking everyone those two questions. They noted the padlock on my luggage, ...

Ugly stories abound here in Thunder Bay....inexplicably canceled flights, luggage lost after direct flight from Winnipeg and found a week later, rude staff. Add to that what I read on this forum, and the result is an extreme wariness on my part to fly with them at any time...so, I was not happy abou...
