I was wondering if anyone knows about upcoming GS dates? Is Jazz still running GS's every couple of weeks and will this continue over the summer? I was also wondering if there is a waiting period between one's initial GS and being able to bid for base movement? For example, if I draw the Classic in ...

If a sailor dies at sea, he is burried at sea. Is it not appropriate that aviators are burried in the sky?

Here's another view of the uniforms...

I assume there are no IFR services in Antarctica, so if they were flying VFR, did they get trapped in IMC conditions or were they still in VMC? Excuse my lack of experience as I am a new pilot, but if I am VFR and I start loosing visibility and ground reference, I get out of there. Does this logic ...

Mike - I was lucky enough to have flown with you a few times at CYBW. Bob, you were my mentor's mentor. You were both exceptional guys and we are all richer for having had the privilage to know you. To borrow, if I may:

Just Tragic.

Godspeed gentlemen!

To Bob and his crew, stay warm. Help is comming.

For those of you that are trying to get to the crew, fly safe and keep your head in the cockpit.

+1. Actually, +2 if you include my wife.

xtreme: The simple answer to your question is: Yes. You can transport yourself in a privately owned and registered aircraft. The real question is should you. I'm somewhat familiar with the area and have flown to the CYMM area many, many times. There are only a few months of the year that you could r...

Clearly, for example, a high end set like the BOSE noise cancelling headsets are amazing from what I have read, but are they worth $1000+ at this early stage? As most people, this is a huge investment and saving cash wherever I can is important. If you are going to be flying as a career, then the t...

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a flop house in Calgary. What do people pay and what kind of terms are expected? This would be my first time renting something like this and could use some advice!

Thanks!

There was no "incident'. NavCan had thier RV, I mean RJ out shooting approaches on Runway 10 all day. I think I saw what cammelanson saw. Early in the afternoon, the RJ was coming in on approach to 10 while RWY 28 was active. NavCan made a steep right turn to the south and climbed to about 5 or 6000...

I was at YYC all day that day and have a view of the field. What time did this happen and on which runway was the 'smaller jet' 'taking off'? I think I know the incident.

Cheers,

Keep in mind you are travelling during hunting season and that it is common to see a firearm case. If you have followed the great advice above, you won't be treated any differently than if you were travelling with a dog.

Lifetime warranty anyone?

Too many instructors use fear when teaching probably because it was the way they were taught. During spin training their voice goes up an octave or two and that's all the student needs to hear before he fears spins as well. Parents often use the same style to teach children about traffic or strange...

I would have skipped my stint in an office and started flying 12 years earlier.... Can't wait to get out of a 172....

3) Find an instructor to show you what the plane can actually take. If it is a 172, you can really beat it up IF you keep it straight.[/quote] Why would anyone want to really beat up an airplane?[/quote] A 172 can take quite a pounding. It is designed for someone that flies 50 hours a year. If you c...

Hey Niss, congrats on the 100th hour! It is a big deal and you should be proud of yourself. On two of my early flights I had really close calls. If you have ever flown as YBW at 10 am, you know what a gong show the circuit can be. On my second solo, I was cleared the low approach for 34. Departing t...
