Re: Avcanada Posting Etiquette and Consequences

I took big breaks from the forum, some as cope and seethe, some as a sign of maturity. Back on for now to see if things are better. I'll admit I'd been a willing participant in a scrap or two back in the day and wow do I cringe when I read it. This was a place before social media where we were all h...

If she can't convince you to follow a more traditional diet that will arrest prediabetes and insulin resis...

Re: Wasaya caravan missing

Sorry to hear this. My condolences to everyone affected. You guys are so right, we should really abolish the Caravan and go back to a better time when there were only Beavers, Norsemen, Navajos to get the job done. Back then there were no accidents. Unless there's a book called King Air 200, The Swi...

Wasaya 1900 Declares Emergency July 4, 2014

Could anyone give more details on this?

Rumour mill says the pilots declared an emergency, and turned back to Sandy, having difficulty controlling aircraft pitch.
And then nothing else was heard, good or bad.

I believe stef was sarcastically pointing out the article writer's poor editing. By naming the location of the lake 3 times.

Also, I had problems seeing the Garmin 530/430, and MFD screens when I bought a Polarized pair, don't know if anyone else has had the same problem? So I bought the same shape, non-polariz...
