Re: Runway overrun....new thread
The only real justification I could think of would be the cost. Also considering that for airports with a single runway the installation or upgrade process could take a considerable amount of time and may take the runway out of commission.

Re: Harbour Air Buying Tofino Air ?
Are you confusing the fact that Harbour Air just bought Whistler Air? Also I would say Rowdy would be a pretty reliable source on this one...

Re: biggest registered aircraft flying in Canada?
AC doesn't fly any 747s anymore. I know they are leasing out quite a few 767s so maybe some of their 747s are flying with other airlines.

Re: Why your bags are delayed in a thunder storm
I'm not sure if this is the case for all airports, but, I believe there is a blue light called "Thor" that tower lights up when TS are in a certain range of airport. Ground crews vacate apron and seek shelter. I guess these lucky lads didn't have that. YVR has that system, blue lights all around th...

I was recently reading an article about a current business trend where companies are starting to offer ince...

No from my understanding AC still has 37 on order, and I think they are planned to replace the 767.

Re: Online Log Books
I use zululog.com which is free for the basic edition, and still record my flights in a paper logbook.
I figure its good to have a back up.

Re: Floats: Turbo Beavers vs Turbo 206's
One reason I would go with a Beaver is that when the flaps are down in a 206 I am pretty sure they block the back door. Maybe something to consider on the side of safety, incase anything was to happen.

Re: Canada's country code
I don't know if this is what you are talking about but when I was in europe I just dialed 1 then the area code and it would connect me. But maybe that has changed since I was there.
