Kind of like when your drinking a nice cold beer.
you pour the last of the bottle into your glass, take a long pull on the glass and the tip the now empty bottle up and try to squeeze another few drops out of it.

every float business in the country is for sale, its just a matter of making the right price offer to the current owner.

ARE YOU A PILOT? I THOUGHT I WAS ... You think you have lived to be 80 plus and think you know who you are, then along comes someone and blows it all to hell! An old Marine Pilot sat down at the Starbucks, still wearing his old USMC flight jacket and ordered a cup of coffee. As he sat sipping his co...

Kermit Weeks has a pretty nice collection of airplanes and the like there too.

Hey Doc, I'm not really to new to this business unless starting in 1974 qualifies me as such. It is meant to be a bit of tongue in cheek on piston vs. turbine equipment, but the bottom line is there seems to be more weather related accidents happening now than 30 years ago, or a least now with inter...

Also , food for thought Make all Day VFR companies operate piston engine aircraft (this will take away the comfort level of the turbine reliability) and don't let them install all the fancy GPS units with weather capabilities and moving maps. I am willing to bet there won't be many piston otters and...

As long as there is another operator willing to send a flight into the crap weather and a pilot willing to take it, the end will never come.

Its the nature of the business, as sorry as it is.

Event 1 On 29 November 2009, a Seair Seaplanes Ltd. de Havilland DHC-2 (Beaver) was departing Lyall Harbour, Saturna Island, en route to the Vancouver International Airport, British Columbia. After an unsuccessful attempt at taking off downwind, the pilot took off into the wind towards the island. T...

Here's a start from the National Post - The Scary World of Geert Wilders

That's even more interesting. It's down-right amazing how religion gets every-body so reved-up when its all bs. holy crap anyways!!!!

This Will Give You Cold Chills! Geert Wilders is a Dutch Member of Parliament. In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: Who lost Europe ?' Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom, the Netherlands , at the Four Seasons, New York , introducing an Alliance of Patriots an...

Yeah Right,

If the Whitey pilot or dispatcher refuses to fly the intoxicated native passengers he then becomes a racist .

Wake up Canada. Its time to call a spade a spade.

The Real Story ... Jarheads do have a certain way with words You want some truth? Not what's on the News... This is from a Recon Marine in Afghanistan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From the Sand Pit it's freezing here. I'm sitting on hard, cold dirt between rocks and shrubs at the base of th...

That lady is a total wingnut. Werthmann cites the Equal Rights Amendment as a sign of socialism. The Equal Rights amendment failed to get ratified in 1982. Obama wasn't even an elected official in the early eighties. Werthmann is a member of the South Dakota Eagle Forum. The organization is part of...

The gun registry BS here is the similarity that makes me take a second look. It sure as shit doesn't do any thing to curtail the use of guns in criminal activity. Like the thugs are going to line up to register their rigs. The rest of the piece was interesting reading and food for thought ,DON'T YOU...

Subject: 1938 Austria - sobering. Is this not what is happening here, now, slowly? We are on a very slippery slope. The author of this article lives in South Dakota and appears to be very active in attempting to maintain our freedom. I encourage everybody to read this article and pass it along. I se...

A guy walks into a pet store and was looking at the animals on display. While he was there, an engineer from the local airport walked in and said to the shopkeeper, "I'd like a Line Service monkey, please." The clerk nodded, went to a cage at the side of the store and took out a monkey. He put a col...

Problem solved Here's a solution to all the controversy over full-body scanners at the airports. Have a booth that you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on you. It would be a win-win for everyone, and there would be none of this crap about rac...

That would be be against somebody's rights. I read somewhere that back in the 30s thats how some of the airlines did it. You stood on a scale (with your bags) and then you paid for your ticket. That's exactly the way it should work!!(a few simple modifications to facilitate traffic movement). If th...

What does that have to do with it???
Please enlighten me.

Thanks

How about paying by the pound for your airfare. Passenger weight + baggage weight times $$$ per pound = price for your ticket. fat folks pay more than skinny folks and folks with 200 lbs of baggage pay more than folks with 50 lbs of baggage etc. also the fat folks by paying more would be entitled to...

After thinking this subject through ,here is a simple solution. Turn the first class section into a nut free zone. Also the zone where obese passengers that don't fit into coach seating can sit . That way by being denied peanuts, they might lose some weight and therefore become healthier. Its a win ...

the way I understand their way of thinking, a trip to the land of virgins is to complete the mission by killing a bunch of Innocent people who don't give a red rats ass about Mohamed or alha. again its all about religion. Their way or die. No freedom of religion in their play book. not like the way ...

Bottom Line : Lead the crazy nigerian down the stairs to the tarmac, call CNN,MSNBC,FOX NEWS,NBC,CBS,ABC,CBC,CTV,and any other news channel that wants to take part. Have the whole lot turn on there lights and cameras, parade the crazy nigerian in front of said crowd and stick a 12 gauge shot to his ...
