Anyone have any idea what this means?

Anyone care to guess who's trying to buy into WestJet? One of the "OneWorld" companies? Emirates perhaps?

Wow... I actually had the pleasure of flying with Ken at a media day out at CFB Moose Jaw many years ago (would've been around 2000 or 2001?) - and I'm pretty sure it was in THAT very aircraft. We actually did the dead-stick landing, doing the nice coast down the runway to where his son was standing...

Must be a pretty recent repaint for 'Ed Force One', several pictures were taken of her arriving on 11-Sep-2011 in CYYC. Here's a link to mine: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37775469@N08/6196630093/ amraam It was recent. On another website G-STRX is listed as painted white on Oct 8th prior to enterin...

Try calling customer service for Bell...you'll quickly find out how.

It does suck that they're shutting it down and being forced to move, but let's face it: $100,000 behind on the rent?

Yikes...

You're welcome to come use the PMDG 737 in my man-cave...not too sure if you can count the hours or not, but my rates are pretty reasonable...ha ha!

When I send my stuff through security, I watch it like a hawk. I refuse to put my passport or boarding pass in the bin (I always carry it through...never had a problem) and I always keep my wallet in my back pocket (again...never had a problem).

Annoying.

First off, I think they deserve jobs at le Cirque de Soleil. Three people who can perform the gymnastics required to @#$^ in an aircraft biffy should be a cinch to make it big in Vegas. I agree. I mean, I'll admit I'm a "bigger guy" (5'10" 255lbs) and I don't think I could join the Mile High club B...

I recommend this:

Sad. Just plain sad.

Personally, I'd love to see this aircraft in a museum somewhere...either in Ottawa at the National Museum or Winnipeg at the WCAM.

I flew on C-FEAR up at Cooking Lake (outside of Edmonton) on one of my first "familiarization" flights. And I also did a couple of flights on C-FAGE at the Edmonton Flying Club at CYXD.

Jeff @ YYC

I'm not gonna lie...and I'm not proud of this, but I predicted something like this would happen quite sometime ago. My wife and I were talking about it one day, and we both wondered how long it would be before someone blew themselves up inside a crowded airport. How long will it be before people who...

Interesting story just posted to Global Edmonton's website:

Muni development sales worth up to 85 per cent less than estimate: report...Annual tax forecast slashed to $20 million from up to $68 million

I vaguely remember a time when the AIF wasn't added to the price of the ticket...I seem to recall having to pay the AIF at YVR at a machine (similar to an ATM) and having to show the AIF receipt to the agent at security.

Or was that all in my head? Ha ha...

Jeff @ YYC

Likely a charter...either the Calgary Flames or Calgary Hitmen hockey teams.

Apparently they charter a Jazz AC and go into City Centre rather than EIA for ease of access to Rexall Place (I posed the same question about a year ago & that was the answer I received).

On a slightly different Aviation-related museum tangent... If you ever find yourself in Portland, take the drive out to McMinnville & check out the Evergreen Aviation Museum...it's the home of "The Spruce Goose" (which is friggin' huge!). http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=63098&id=527106525&l=44...

That is, quite possibly, thee most entertaining thing I've read in a very VERY long time.

Jeff @ YYC

I hate to say it, but it looks like Edmonton City Centre is going the way of the dodo. It was reported today on Global Edmonton's Noon newscast that Envision Edmonton's petition to the city has been deemed invalid.

You can log both ground instruction & flight time.

Jeff @ YEG

Question for you instructors: What is the lowest time you have sent someone solo in? My answer: 5.5hrs. The guy flew once a week. Absolutely incredible- had to help him on one landing throughout the whole pre solo stage. I probably could have sent him solo in about 4, but did an extra flight to mak...

To the average traveller it seems like a bit of a scam that the price goes up while you're on hold. It's not right IMO and they should have a way to see the fare history so they can match the fare from when they called. I'm happy I've stepped into the 21st century and book all my flights on-line. I...

I just booked YEG to YYZ in February for $100 each way and YEG to YWG (with connections in Calgary on the outbound & return trips) for $85 each way. It's been a looooooong time since I've seen fares this low.

I think about this all the time and what upsets me is that our government seems to rely on passenger screening when in reality, a suicide bomber could have explosives hidden in their stomachs on a timer. How is a CATSA or TSA person going to detect that? I've often wondered this myself. And how lon...
