Re: Greetings from NZ

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.

Re: Greetings from NZ

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.

Re: The Flying Firemen - who were they?

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.

You may have set a record for ancient thread resurrection, and usually people will give you shit for doing that, but you picked a good one. Very entertaining. 8)

Re: Piper Pawnee - fatal gender reveal accident

There is a lengthy and very interesting thread about this accident on a well known rumour network. So I was anxious to see what could be learned here on Avcanada.

Not much. Hope my username is ok. To be or not to be... that is the question. :rolleyes:

Re: piper pa32 crashed last night near kananaskis village

I don't see anyone making fun of anything. I suggest your perspective is a bit skewed. Suggesting the pilot made a bad decision is not making fun of him.

Some people are wondering why the pilot made such a bad decision.

Some people are wondering if the pilot's mind set had anything to do with his decision making.

We'll never know what he was thinking.

Re: Twin Otter Crash May 20, 2023

People on other well known aviation forums have stated the floats were removed for this flight. Seems reasonable, but the posters have questionable credibility. Would be nice to hear from someone who really knows something.

Bad break for Viking.
