When travelling through Nebraska in April we happened upon a very good museum for the Strategic Air Command. Here is a Blackbird.

Could that perfect separation of the tail been done to enable extraction from the forest?

Here is his first post on Avcanada ,not even two months ago. HELLO aviators i have a Canadian cpl/ir, no atpl. i joined a long distance easa atpl theory program, which is a greek school that has a branch in turkey Istanbul, i have finished all ground school requirements wrote all 14 SCHOOL exams for...

Would that come under the category of a privates flying?

Forty One for me. Can't afford to start over after all that time with the same old boot. And five Grandchildren now. One advantage is We can share all our pensions with each other and nobody else. :smt014 :smt008 :prayer: Bob I'd like to add to this. I purposely rejected world flying, far north or f...

Either or.

I used to have a turntable (yes, I'm old enough to have owned such a device.. and not when it became retro-cool to own one) that had a button on it which when pressed, would cause the arm lift momentarily and move the needle exactly one groove to the left. Wonderful feature! AvCanada should have on...

Now that I am in my 60's I would say the anybody under forty would be in the young age group.
Mostly I miss the chat. It used to be great for personal help, both for receiving and giving of.

I am impressed at the strength of the fence that contained the rock chunk; considering the force developed in its fall.

Has anybody tried one of these in a Garmin 296 etc.?

This door opening reminds me of how to close a door on a Beaver if it opens in flight, right from the pilot's seat. No matter which door. I will explain it if nobody else does by tomorrow. And nobody touching it. Bob :?: :wink: Open the Pilots door about 2 inches. The low pressure created in the ca...

[quote="Gilles Hudicourt"]Iran has nothing to do with this.

I happen to agree with the above. Too much radar when approaching Iran.

with six passengers as described an Islander would use about 1/2 the runway.

Supposing a pilot flies about 30,000 hours in a lifetime of professional flying over about 40 to 45 years. Just divide that time in thirds. That would make low time under 10,000, mid time 10,000 to 20,000, and high time from 20,000 to the finish of career. Please note that its all in the perspective...

Regarding CR and Quadra, phone Corilair in Campbell River.

I concoure with the colonel about the glasses, even with small arms. i wear my eye glasses pushed up over top of my earphones.
I reiterate, DC's are the pits in a Beaver, yet everybody seems to use them. The clarity worked very well.

First of all I do not like ANR headsets. Every time I tried a pair they squeaked and popped when I ate something on a long trip. I tried a David Clark head set with the after market ANR installed and they were so bad that I threw them out the Beaver window. If you want them they are somewhere around...

I am getting more reaction than I expected.I think a lot of members new my real name already.
My beaver bob name was started by a regular passenger about 15 years ago and, much to my displeasure, stuck to the point that when I got hired where I am now the CSA's new that but not my real name.
Bob

In honor of Avcanada's new found civility and respectfulness of its members, I hereby am going to use my real name.
Anybody else with the guts?

Bob

ZULU or local time?

Does that really require an answer?

For those who want to calibrate you own torque wrenches.
And much more.

Hi Cat
A wheel landing straight down the middle of the runway. One of those Alberta single runway airports, and a long ways between fuel stops. I could guess that your reason was about the same. Oh, also, Crab untill close enough to lower the wing and check drift just befor touchdown.
Bob

I have landed a Cessna 185 in a 50kt 90 degree Xwind. Anybody here care to explain the best way to do it?
Bob

I have only watched a part of one episode, but I think it will be a good series for basic entertainment. Considering it is fiction I think it will be a welcome relief from CSI this or CSI that and all the friggen nurse and Dr. shows. But what do I know? My favorite aviation show was "Airplane". :smt...
