Re: Ouch! That Had To Hurt!
I dunno, that third landing looked pretty good!
Operated out of that airport for almost a decade. Flown a 441 in there in more than one occasion. No excuse for that.

Re: What was the most fun job you had flying
As with lots of folks here, it was a mix. Maybe it was the mix?! Morning floatplane charter into some remote alpine lake (Evans Lake in the Valhallas is spectacular- look it up!), afternoon fire patrol in the 337 ripping along at low altitude, cranking and banking putting together an Initial Fire Re...

Re: Any legitimate Pilot bars left?
F Street Station in Anchorage is the coolest pilot bar I've ever been in, hands down! If I had to guess I'd say 90% of the dudes in there were pilots, and 95% of the chicks were there for that reason!!

Re: Pemberton Aerodrome
been a long time since I've been in there during the winter, but I do recall many years ago checking the CFS and NOTAMs which both gave the "limited winter maintenance" advisory, and once overhead I came to understand that meant "we don't plow the runways"! Fortunately Squamish had fuel! Things may ...

Re: C180 vs C182 on floats
Flown both, love my 182 on Edo 2870's. Pponk 470-50 engine has a 2000hr TBO. Only operational issue I've noticed is that the 182 with the slanted tail seems less willing to turn downwind at idle taxi. PM for more info.

Had both the rising terrain and the under wires dreams (under wires was always along some brightly lighted street, like Freemont!). Haven't had either in quite a few years, at lease since moving into the Flight Levels. Here's more weirdness: these are not the only common dreams we may be having. Ple...
