Anytime now the airlines should be wailing to the feds for a handout due to the "wildfires"

Good morning all, am I the only one who is feeling a sense of incompleteness? I look forward to the 1st if every month for Beech 18's videos....I hope he is off fishing somewhere and has float compartments overflowing with huge trout!

"a reasonable salary" LOL.... for someone with the experience you show you have it seems hard to believe that you would use the words reasonable and salary in the same sentence.

I have a lot of time on the PK's and the Edo's and Caps too and I'd go for the pk they have a nice flat top for walking on and they are good in rough water, I found that when heavy the pk was a bit of a pig in flight as they are not as streamlined as the edo's or the caps they would tend to give a p...

I agree with you, it was my favourite as well

It was actually "Keep alert, and watch for other aircraft". Some of the funnier pilots would ask "What's a Lert?"

No you're both wrong, it was.... "keep alert watch for other aircraft"

YQB You Quebec Bas... what ever became of this aircraft?

I'm not interested enough to scroll back through all these pages but did anyone mention Bushplane by Bob Ruzika usually sung by Ted Wesley?? Beaver, Otter, Beechcraft, cessna 180 too, 30 thousand people counting on you, bush plane a coming I hear you whinin in the wind.... ( I changed it from 182 to...

I vaguely remember one in Inuvik operating off the river in the 60's but I was knee high to a mosquito so I don't recall who was operating it I just remember how ugly it was.

I would only rate a skill as unnecessary if it turned out that it wasn't any use in avoiding being lost and off course. One thing is for sure, nobody on the flight in question was taking star or sun shots, or NDB fixes, or dead reckoning, or any other "unnecessary" activity. I think it's interesting...

Here here lost in north... very well said, I can't speak for everyone else but I think you sure did hit the nail on the head with your comments on the pontiffs. The constant holier than all attitude is truly tiresome.

Well said Swine herder man.... Finally common sense is surfacing...

please.... Doc keep your personal SHORTCOMINGS out of this

/quote] Really? Pilots should not be concerned with missuse of the medivac system because they are highly trained and know when to fly and when not to. Bullshit. Missuse of the system was common when I flew medivacs forty five or more years ago and it seems not much has changed.[/quote] Ya really......

Several times I have asked this question. What happened to the patient that was so critical they had to evacuate him/her at midnight. We know the air ambulance crew of four died on that flight. What happened to the dying patient when the helicopter never showed up? It's really a moot point, and no ...

comments like "wait til daylight" are nonsense... it's the same logic as nobody moves nobody gets hurt, or after you're done taking a leak just leave it out cause you're likely gonna have to go later anyways :rolleyes: I get the whole urgency thing, but what are you now all medical experts?..if you'...

Can the bluetooth dual xgps be purchased in stores in Canada, Or is it only available online?

Ahhh now it's "menial labor" I do agree that their needs to be a line between such labor and workin the dock or the ramp etc. I am too against abuse and I advise my son not to work for outfits that are clearly just abusive arseholes... I worked at the subject outfit when the fella that owns it now w...

Xsbank .... Im honesty curious what canadian aviation will look like when we reach this critical mass and are all professionals as you say. Specificly, who will rampies be? Professional ramp guys, happy to load and fuel permenantly? And what would be the typical entry path into a 703 op for a newly...

While we all are hopeful of a happily ever after conclusion.... I don't think Bob himself would argue with the logic Mr. Penniket has opined, someone needed to say it, many are thinking the same thing I'm sure. I know Steve and I'm this is not a malicious, without a doubt he is hopeful of a happy en...

try a pencil and a note book, for the time it takes you to frig around with your iThing you'll be airborne, they shouldn't be allowed in the cockpit, accident waiting to happen

are you able to provide some clues to us as to the issue for the suspension? like what is it concerning? your eyes, your heart, and I'm truly sensitive and empathetic to your situation, but you may be able to help others tackle your type of problem in a proactive manner, is this something around med...

ask Stacey, I guess he'd vouch for the david clarkes too, cuz he stuck his head out the window and they came off his head and banged against the fuselage till they came loose and departed

Was Max in Inuvik in the early 70's ? and put XLU on a cut line?
