TC's online bill payment thingy
Does anybody have a link to the address? Does anybody know what I'm talking about? The site you can use to pay your medical online......aka electronic rape. My ass already hurts and I haven't even paid it yet.

Re: Boeing 767 More Fuel Efficient than Airbus 330, Analysis
What else would you expect from a study funded by Boeing? They are trying to win a major contract. They probably used the same "independent analysists" that tobacco companies use when they need to produce a report showing that smoking doesn't cause cancer.

a portion of the right maingear was replaced six days before that accident -- using parts intended for the nose gear. The parts were "reconfigured by maintenance personnel" for use by SAS on the main gear, according to the report. How could they possibly attempt to blame Bombardier when they were p...

Wow great job on the landing and getting the passengers outta there. Compare with the video from the incident in September, these guys did a way better job IMO. Big difference in the two incidents. The one in September the gear collapsed without warning. In this latest event the crew knew well in a...

I can never believe how little talk there is of alternatives especially in aviation, because at this point it is unlikely that airplanes will ever run on anything other than fossil fuels. All climate change issues aside, oil is non-renewable which means at some point we are going to run out. I can't...

Yeah I saw it. Sounded just like TC aviation. Everytime the guy called to clarify something he got a different answer. Basically it's a low speed car (top speed of 50km/h). They're selling like hotcakes all around the world but TC won't give them the approval to sell here. So there's no point in hav...

Looking to do MIFR in eastern Ont
Can anyone help out with a few schools that offer this and give a recommendation. I know there's a place in Cornwall, pretty sure there has to be a couple in Ottawa. What about Kingston/Belleville/Peterborough? I can stay in either Brockville or Belleville.

There was an article on this a few years ago in Canadian Aviator, just before AOG went under I think. It was called the Hot Wings Caravan and they definitely had one flying. They added winglets on the tips that went straight up so it looked kinda funny actually. I believe there was also some other w...

I've got an S5 but haven't done any long exposures with it yet. Done lots with SLR's though. Definitely use a tripod. I always found it helps to have a bit of a moon to light up the foreground. At 100 ISO I was usually shooting around 30-45 sec at f/3.2 - 4 - there's a fair bit of guesswork with tim...
