Re: Rise Air 705
I’m guessing around 50-60/month. May vary month to month but that’s probably a good average. Wow. In the Norcanair days (pre 1989) we used to do the same kind of work mix, same days, Convair 640 or F27. Normal was timex every 30 and 90 days, which gave good time off. Yearly was around 1100+ hours.

Re: Studies correlated with aerial firefighting
There was a 1972 book, "Air Attack on Forest Fires" by Alexander Linkewich that was the only thing that I can think of.
BC Forestry also had a manual in the seventies.

Re: AvCanada finally restored and functional once again
Today is the first time without any problems. I wasn't able to post until today.
Could read posts, sometimes.
I kind of enjoyed reading posts from 2006 and 2009. Not many posters left from those days.

I suppose that I can expect several of those to arrive in the next few months. Even though I no longer hold a medical.

Does Onex still own 50% of BBAM Aircraft Leasing? Put the conversions and trials on WestJet's bill and sell them on to other customers.

Out of the blue I did get a notice that my medical was suspended. Seeing as I am too old to give a damn I just went on with life. Without putting up with TC's B...
