If I had $1000 extra to spend, I'd definitely go with the new Bose headset. Tried a friend's out, and it was awesome. However, if that's not in your budget....I have a set of DC H20-10s and it's a great headset. The inherent noise cancelling associated with the design of the headset is very good (no...

5 Gallon bucket attached to the tail?!?! or the wing?

Not sure if anyone was really following this thread, but I figured I would post an update for anyone considering LASIK. I got it done on Dec. 16th at the Yonge and Eglinton laser centre, and I can't say enough good things about how professional and caring they were. The procedure itself was seamless...

14k? Wow, that's steep. I did mine in '09 in Eastern Ontario for $8300 in a 172. Not sure if operating costs have gone through the roof in the last 2 years for FTU's. Showing up really well prepared for each lesson will obviously make a big difference. If you're not doing the appropriate studying, k...

Thank you for the link. However, if you look at the date from that article, it is from 2007. If you refer to the link in av8or_assrope's post, they have amended the rules as of April, 2008. You still basically need perfect vision, but laser correction is allowed.

I'll look into it, but if you have laser eye surgery and your eyesight has been corrected to 20/20 or better, then it doesn't really matter what your eyesight was before hand. I know people who have got into the air force with brutal eyesight before having the procedure done (far worse than mine any...

Thanks for the replies everyone! I'm thinking of having it done at the Yonge and Eglinton Laser Centre in Toronto....Heard pretty good reviews on that place. I had a consultation there about a year and a half ago. I was impressed by how it all works. It's one of the most expensive procedures, but it...

Hi everyone, I am thinking about getting laser eye surgery (intralase wavefront procedure), and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how long you can expect to wait before getting your medical back after the procedure? Transport's website says you have to send them a follow-up report from the opt...

"They're maybe 10 feet above the pier".....wow.....some people.

Alright, time to dust off the charts lol

I haven't had time to read this whole thread, so forgive me if I am repeating anything people have already stated here :) A big part of memorizing emergencies is being able to understand why you are doing what you are doing. A lot of students will just try to memorize word-for-word what you are supp...

I was also in grade 6. Still remember being shocked by the terrible news.
