when the death of one and two others are in critical condition is not newsworthy! Well, just look at the thread title. I was expecting to read about someone bumping wingtips on the taxi to the stand. :shock: :shock: :shock: This was a CRASH, people got KILLED, and "ground collision" doesn't quite c...

Picky picky, I could have made "chute" plural. <assuming Foghorn Leghorn voice> "It's a joke, son!"

If your chute fails to open, it will indeed be your only one!

Who's been bombing those rocks?

The Hungarian Air Force's formation flight with 10 Gripen jets showcases impressive precision and skill. The video likely highlights the jets flying in tight formation, demonstrating the aircraft's capabilities and the pilots' teamwork. Gripen jets are known for their agility and are a key part of ...

I believe there is an underpass. It's a service road between the end of 26L and the water. I can't remember for sure. You can see it easily with Google Earth. As for the Korean disaster, you can also see with Google Earth that if the localizer berm hadn't been there, the aircraft would have hit the...

And nice new guns for everyone!

@Carrier: I posted those names over a year ago. If you've been following developments in the media industry over the last year, you're aware of the turmoil. Massive layoffs, firings, newsrooms closing down, radio stations going silent, people with 25 years service being shown the door, and on and on...

People think Lake Ontario is icy cold and will kill you in short order, and for the most part that is true. That's why Enwave pumps water from the depths to cool high rise buildings in downtown Toronto. Took them years and many $$$ to build the system, and it works well. Their intake pipes go over t...

How about you hop in your friend's 182 and head to the Azores with him/her for some sun & fun? Instead of continually stirring the pot here. After all, the risks are minimal, right? Someone suggested (not "accused") you are arguing just for the sake of arguing, and I quite agree. I have no plans to ...

It could be interesting for someone to go down to the aircraft and politely ask about it, stating that this has been brought up in a pilot forum. A lot of people like to talk about their flying, perhaps this person would like to as well. Doesn't pdw [/i] live around the airport of origin? He could ...

Survival suit and life raft will drastically increase your survival chances. The thread is about a specific PA-28 that likes to cross Lake Ontario at low level beyond the reach of land. I don't think that Cherokee is so equipped. Having made the same trip in a boat many times, I stand by my stateme...

That's an ad hominem, his point is legitimate. If that airplane has to ditch, the occupants are dead. I mentioned that I have witnessed the SAR plane orbiting on several occasions; I've also been passed by the Toronto police marine unit boat going out to retrieve what they were orbiting. In each cas...

I don't like his chances if he goes in the drink on the way. He'll of course be much better equipped than the guy crossing Lake Ontario, but water is water no matter where you are, and the damn stuff ain't human friendly.

There is absolutely no defensible need to cross this lake at low altitude in October I don't have a lot of precious 172 time :D but I have thousands of hours on western Lake Ontario from May to November, and here is the reality: Past Labour Day, boat traffic is minimal. There will be a few guys fis...

I have done that same crossing many times single engine.... in 22' cuddy cabin powerboat. Even on a mirror flat day, you're always a bit nervous. You go into that lake in a life jacket in October, good luck, you'll need it. And I already have the boat airplane passengers would need to save their liv...

Good place for him. This is the guy who said Donald Trump was the best president the US ever had.

I'm always open to Sulako's edicts. After all, he's a valuable contributor to these forums.

The Sulako input to these forums in the last five years is exactly what?

Ha ha. Not only did I work for the Star at 17, I had a motorcycle too! Bought it brand new from a dealer on O'Connor. It sure is a small world. I've been on Ventnor Ave countless times, going to the arena or Cedarvale or whatever, and I know that neighborhood like the back of my hand. I'm from the S...

I was a hopper for the Star when I was 17. Great job, loved it. Used to see Beland Honderich on the dock. He was a hands-on guy.

Last seen on a forum we're not allowed to mention here. (rhymes with spud)runners.com using his real name.

I don't have a login there so can't search for his last appearance.
