You'll have to pry Karens dead body out of the Otter in YVR.

wingnut2 check your PM's

a guy in my hangar just imported 2 single engine cessnas from the us of a Im going to ask him how much of a hassle it was.

yes of course I posted that so we could have a laugh, everyone knows AGIP is not active in Nigeria.

There is a posting on the AME jobs .ca site for an engineer. Its with AGIP the Italian oil co and in Nigeria but the pay looks good. Finally a job paying what Engineers are worth. I'd say equal to a pinky engineer. I went back to the job add to see if it was paid in Naira which is about equal to wha...

I'd try making a contact in the T/C Aircraft Services hangar in Ottawa as it had/has a lot of ex First Air boys with Hawker time. Im sure some have BSW tools.

Sorry to mislead you, I wasn't in E Africa but the fellow came to our project a few years later. Different company. So how does one address the skipping out problem if not with cash? Obviously VAL had way to many skip out over time and had to do something, same as most places who offer a step to the...

The Val forum is going toward the bond issue again so how about we explain some first hand experiences and maybe shed some light on the issue. Ill go first. . I worked with a pilot who was on that Canso with the French or was it Spanish film crew in E.Africa. He came to work with us and did a few ro...

I had dealings with Max Schapiro and Voyageur 30 yrs ago and they are still around so I,d say they are fairly well established and a safe bet to give a bond to. Lets not forget the reason for bonds in the first place. Pilots screwed the employer by moving on after training. Its fine and dandy to spe...

The year the old hangar burnt down?

Not to sure, maybe late 70,s or could be early 80,s but I stand correct if anyone knows more.

But it was years after the Paddle Wheelers burnt.

I can confirm that picture was taken on the ramp in Whitehorse.
I remember when that hangar in the background burnt down.

I want the price of oil to go back to 140 a barrel so they will start to drill again.

Regarding the last post. I agree. Perhaps Viking will see the options on the first S.N,s change hands.

The Zimex home page has some pictures of DHC-6 S.N 845 in construction jigs.

Of course they could be pictures from DeHav/Boeing days.

The video interview with Dave Curtis is not bad also.

I didn;t know that they still used the old D.O.T. anymore. I thought it was all Transport Canada now.

The maintenance positions are for T/C Aircraft Services Bld T58 and the term DOT is not used there.

Has anyone an explanation.

Im not sure if I aquired this site from AvCanada but for those of you Engineers who like engines its a great read.

AEHS aircraft engine historical society

the story of the Continental IV 1430 was especailly interesting.

As you all have read in the papers Ontario is now a have not province and NFLD is off the list.

What will happen to pilots wages now? Will they use this as an excuse to lower them even more?

Opinions anyone....

what is the best corporate job, sort of like asking which is best a Chev or Ford.

I know that no question is suppost to be stupid but on this one I have to disagree.

If your fleet had all -27s and you wanted the new 400 but with 27s would they sell you one?

Apparently not.

Well said 1340 Not to slag ON, well maybe I will. I spent some time there and when I FINALLY got back to the North (no not T.Bay) I told my buds I spent 2 yrs in On and the standard reply was 2 min would be enough for me. Then I,d say 5 yrs and it would be 5 min would be enough for me. Bloody northe...

Pat Richard Were did these S.African Engineers work at? Shite hole pretty much narrows it down to about 50 Candaian ops\ I have worked with a lot of these guys (S.African)and any who are old enough to have worked through the sanction years are brillant. And if they came from a farm even more so, the...

Sorry mate but my experience with Transport Canada has been this. India is considered a 3rd world country rife with corruption and you could have bought your certificate. Worst case senario is to expect to start from scratch and do the apprentice thing with log book etc. Did you contact any TC peopl...

Just what we need to look at, ANOTHER ordinary picture of a Beaver. I spent some tie in ON and Algonquin pk and like JC says its ordinary for a lot of us. Actually the reason I left ON (actually disliked it tremendously) was for that very reason. When people think what is ordinary and boring for me ...

I would have to agree that contracting overseas puts more in the pocketbook Look at Flight international, there is a listing of contract agencies there. I contracted at Altenrhein in Staad and there were quite a few contractors there, a lot of tin bashers. Switzerland can be expensive but if you liv...
