Re: Cessna 150 down near Kelowna - No injuries

Gotta love the media :twisted: My 150 always appears empty with the master off too!! Perhaps they should just wait for the facts before they guess at a probable cause. Oh wait, you couldn't sensationalize(sp) it then! :rolleyes:

Re: 406 hz ELT

The new regulations pertaining to the 406 Mhz ELT have been put on hold by the minister.
