Let me get this straight:

Dude steals a plane without a pilot license, and you're suggesting part of the punishment to be prohibiting the guy from obtaining a pilot license legally?

I love this forum sometimes!

Thanks for the replies.

It's a single seat airplane so the instructor thing wouldn't really work out too well in this case

Hello all, I know I should just look it up but I find the euro regs a little confusing and I'm packing for a trip right now so, while I'm thinking of it hopefully someone simply knows the answer: Does anyone know if there's a process to obtaining a PPL based on a Canadian CPL to fly in Europe simila...

I can second the bit of prejudice towards the fixed wing guys crossing over but speaking for myself it was more laughable than anything. What I will actually comment on though is that there was one guy I worked with that was definitely on the "large" side, and couldn't climb on the machines or anyth...

Cool, thanks.

I have no idea what the issue is/was, but I got it sorted by switching browsers and trying again. Wasted 8 sheets of paper in the process though. Never had this problem with anything else in the past.

Brothers, Odd problem. I'm in the process of attempting to renew my AME license but the 24-0083 form isn't downloading properly. I'm fairly computer literate and I just printed off my pilot license renewal forms with no problem (OF COURSE THERE'S NO PROBLEM WITH THE PILOT FORM) and I'm sure the issu...

The Daily Currant is a satirical website not unlike The Onion.

It gets a lot of people.

If I'm home I could see myself taking a Stearman up there, especially if I get around to putting a transponder in it.

I agree totally with the Waco/Pitts comparison. The Stearman and Moth are both far narrower and they sit at less of an angle too. The first time I flew the Waco (solo, no dual controls in ours) I kinda had a moment of panic when the tail was coming down... and down... and down... felt really strange...

I doesn't matter what you ride, as long as you ride True... but we can all agree that if whoever taught you how to ride motorcycles didn't stress the dangers of ham-fisting the front brake at slow speed, then jumping from your XR100 to a new Goldwing or Gixxer could likely be a rather educational e...

This is one of the only threads that I feel I can contribute to since all of my time is in the radial engined biplanes mentioned above (Stearmans and Wacos) except the required Cessna time to get the license in the first place. As usual I find myself agreeing with the good Colonel and Cat Driver on ...

No problem.
If I'm in town I'll happily take you through there myself, just get in touch.
Cheers,

longjon, you're killing me. It has 2 Gipsy Queen engines. It's a Dove. I grew up there and I work there whenever I'm back in town. I literally have a key to the building that's housing the rest of the parts for it. I honestly don't know what else I can say to you about this whole subject. Respectful...

He's likely asking about the DH Dove that I'd like to point out is also not being crushed.

Thanks for the kind words, Tom.

You've been a huge asset to the Alberta aviation community and your enthusiasm and dedication for what you do is something I think we can all admire.

This is enough AvCanada for me for the next few months I think.

Good old AvCanada. From an insider (me): All aviation and military items are safe. The collection has been gradually sold off over the last few years with the vast majority of items having gone to other museums, collectors, and enthusiasts. What remains is basically old farm equipment (of which ther...

LAUGHING MY ASS OFF!

I can't believe nobody's posted this yet!!!

Well now I'll be god damned. Thanks, guys! The info I had (must be for other "foreign" countries, not Canada) included a flight test, too. I have it printed out somewhere, and I had been given that info by not only an FAA employee (when I was down in Helena, MT getting my A&P) but also by a Canadian...

No flight test?

Same here

Me too

+1 on the Clarity Aloft. I've used mine extensively in our Waco and Stearman (and other stuff, just keeping it relevant here) over the last 3 or so years. When I first got it, I had people asking me what I was using because apparently it sounded like I was sitting right beside them. Before that I us...

I'd sweeten the deal with a modeling contract from Instagram.

+1. Should be your cheapest option, it is Wisconsin, after all. Shouldn't cost any more than a few cheeseburgers.
