Mapleflt,
Thanks.
Its been a long time since I used one of those. Someone mentioned that formula in one of those "There I was" BS sessions that Old guys have. I had never heard of it before, neat trick.

So Marty is still around?
Where is Rick?
It has been along time since I was at Peninsulair, Old Bill T. gave me my first flying job back in 89' as a brand new instructor.
The good old days.

Re: just gotta shake your head sometimes.
Could it be the same guy that was called the "Phantom" from CYHM years ago. Would steal an airplane and then leave it on the button of a runway to be found in the morning? Back then the tower was closed at night.

BE1900, BAE J31/32, SB340 or EMB120 Replacement?????
Admittedly not too familiar with the types of operations these aircraft have historically been tasked with. What do you see as the next replacement for these aircraft types? Without jumping up in PAX capacity significantly.
Your thoughts are most appreciated!!!

Re: Stupid sayings.
Aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous. But to an even greater degree than the sea, it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect.

Nearing the end of 2010 with all of the accumulated, documented scientific data of contamination and its adverse effects on flying surfaces and the anectdotal evidence in ice related crashes, I am astounded that this conversation is even taking place. Quite frankly, it is concerning. Just remember:"...
