I've recently become a big fan of Soylent shakes and bars - there was a bit of a health scare with some of their bars that got contaminated with some nasty bug, but I think that's taken care of now... they're not fancy, but give you all the basic nutrition you need on the go.

Howdy - Just wondering what the aviation world thinks about the future of air transport for medical reasons - I was talking with a Paramedic friend of mine and he seems to believe that for all but the absolute worst disasters, the medical care they are able to provide on the ground and at the site h...

can you help fact check hunting and fishing stories too? Could have a real business there.

this shows how unreliable "eyewitness" reports are... I like to think i'm moderately informed about different types of aircraft, etc, but I was almost certain it was a southwest plane with a fighter jet... I was only slightly off. LOL

That actually makes sense....

Hey... I was standing outside a friends place in the SW and looked up to see what looked like a southwest plane being escorted by a small plane... Can't find any reports on it... anyone have any insight?

Seems ya'll are right. Guess the US media are too busy covering Trump

interesting to see how the flying public react to this one... Specifically, the A321 variant used by American Airlines lacked ETOPS (Extended-range Twin-engine Operational Performance Standards) from the FAA, according to Brian Sumers, an aviation expert who first reported on the incident. The certi...

threats only work against the bottom line of a company. ... just like WestJet execs have said about the threat of unionization. Read this article about how delays and problems in the airline industry serve to bring the team together... thus reminding everyone that works for WestJet that they don't ...

I really can't help but speculate that the bomb hoaxes/threats against Westjet and the threat of unionization are connected. The amount of media attention and particularly WestJet's response really make me feel the company is trying to spin this into a crisis that will show how well the company can ...

Kind of hilarious....

Here's an interesting article I found on Slate about the merger between US Airways and American.

So, whats the real story here on the AW139s? Its early 2013 and they're still not operational? how much did the delays and trade in on the 139's cost?

hey all - i've been doing a lot of research and reading about the 787 Dreamliner problems... found this video and an article from Wired magazine that went into some detail. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiZzAjKixKI http://www.wired.com/autopia/2013/01/boeing-787-electric-fire-grounding/?utm_source=...

Neat story...

From Opinion 250 Some tense times at the Prince George Airport this afternoon as the pilot of a Cessna radioed in that he was lost in the snowfall. The pilot had radioed he didn’t know where he was, so as a precaution, other inbound flights were put in a holding pattern. One WestJet flight turned ar...

Here is an update from the CADORS report... next question.. how the hell does a hammer end up getting jammed in the gear assembly. Perhaps Buffalo is a bit too busy being movie stars and not keeping track of their tools... UPDATE: Maintenance and Manufacturing reported that Buffalo Airways local fli...

If you're shooting Nikon, I recommend their 18-200 lens... very versatile, decent low light and vibration resistance. Great overall lens.

Could it be this incident listed on the CADOR database?

TPJ 198 (operator unknown), was inbound to Iqaluit when the crew reported a flap problem and requested emergency vehicles on standby. They did not declare an emergency and the aircraft landed safely at 1321z.

Interesting. I've requested copies of their lab reports and i'll post them here when I get them. Something doesn't quite add up on this one for me.

The report has been released by the TSB into the fatal Cessna 185E C–FXJN crash last winter near Fort St.John YXJ... officially it is a CFIT crash, with a cell phone connection... The TSB mentions: "The aircraft had experienced several large altitude deviations while the pilot was using his cellphon...

Hey - does anyone know what the deal is with STARS and their AW139's that the bought a long time ago? I have found press releases online that they got their first one 2008, but their website doesn't list it as currently in their fleet? Arn't these the same choppers that ORNGE was flying and don't ha...
