I heard the very sad news about a week and a bit ago. It deeply saddens me because of what an excellent pilot, instructor, friend, and mentor he was to me. I feel privileged to have had the chance to fly with him. I only did my minimum float endorsement and Supercub check with him, but I valued ever...

Hey, Thank you for all the advice and sorry for not doing a "search" of the forums first. I am certainly not expecting to find any kind of jobs in Vancouver, let alone BC. Insurance seems to be especially bad in BC... darn pointy mountains. Anywho, to defend myself. I was born in Vancouver so it's k...

Hey there, Thank you for the boost of confidence. I have a question though. How was "insurance" in the 70's? Especially for float pilots.

It should be a fun event with lots of great items to bid on. Tickets are $25 and include a buffet dinner. Check out the poster below fo...
