Re: Didn't know the Skymaster was certified for aerobatics..

Steve Soper in his Cessna 337. The only mods were the smoke system and the controls for the rudder pedals as Steve is a paraplegic. He did a beautiful airshow in this aircraft, as well flew his family to and from the airshows in it.

Re: Any LaRonge Aviation crew out there from 1977-1988

I was with La Ronge Aviation in the mid 70's Yellowknife base. We had Twin Otter ZZM and Beaver GQD there. Vic Cristobal was the engineer that summer, Loretta Winslow was dispatcher. I have just retired as of July 01 after 42 years in this great buisness.

Re: Low vis procedures-What did these guys do wrong?

Its starting to sound like you need to take your lawyer with you to determine if you can fly or not. Guys from our company in the past have had to write a captains report for the director of flight operations if they get written up, and then never hear about it again.
