Re: YRL... cell phone??

The main benifit of telus is, I'm sure you will be leaving YRL at times. So when going to say, YWG there are no roaming charges like there will be when you try and use your TbayTel phone there.

Re: YRL... cell phone??

Telus works in all NW ontario towns that you'd most likely be flying to (YRL, YXL, YQK, YAG, YIB) and as long as you are on a contact there are no roaming charges. As far as long distance goes, if your in the city calling a local number it is not long distance. I have a blackberry and it works just ...

She's a Thompson Ten!

I used the search funtion but can't find it, there used to be a guide on here for comparing a girl from the north with one from the south. Something along the lines of deduct 1 for an FO, and .2 for every month spent in the north ect. I think it had the expression "She's a Thompson ten" in it. Any h...

Re: Sonic Blue report out.

We've been through this a million times before. But can someone please give me an example of a PC-12 engine failure. Not an engine shut down in flight but an acutal failure. Anyone?? Buler???? People need to stop lumping the -12 in with the 208. They aren't even close to similar machines (other than...

It's interesting to see the AvCanada results with the rest of Ontario. Seems as if those in flying world vote blue.

Here's my question, all they want to see is the T11b, why not just ask for it when you submit the F-ing thing as opposed to me sending in my package then 6 months down the road you sending me a letter saying I was "randomly selected"?

And I'm guessing that the NFL is a real league. It's so slow, I can't even watch it. Four tries to move the ball the same distance + a smaller feild = BORING!

Seems odd to me there Clunk, that when you opened your flight school you had your instructors dress with white pilot shirts and gold bars driving around C150's and now you go and bash another school for doing the same???
Why the hate Clunk?

Lots of sports events have local black outs. The club wants you to go and buy tickets and go to the games. Now if you can sit at home and watch the game, why would you pay to go? The atmosphere??? Thats not worth $50/ticket.
