... In 4 years time around christmas absent a modified title making everyone shit their pants. Well, not "everyone". Only those who can't be bothered to look at the date of the original post. Oh, btw Boomer, you appear to be new here and all, but it's generally unnecessary (and somewhat bad form) t...

Great video - looks like a heck of a lot of fun (the flying part that is, the dude climbing all over the outside of the aircraft is nuts). On a couple of gliding sites I frequent, there are quite a few videos / photos of skydivers climbing out of gliders. Seems to be an increasingly popular sport in...

Windows sucks dead donkey dicks, but we all have to use it. I agree with moocow, there's no way you can delete Internet Explorer; it is integrated with the Windows operating system and you can't get rid of it. If Windows still boots on your system, you can be damn sure Internet Explorer is still ar...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9q2jNjOPdk Great video! I've seen it before, and think it should be required watching in order to open an account on most forums. 'Blame' here, if there is any, should be directed to the OP of these various threads for using crappy titles. As has been mentioned, it's...

Unless of course they're shopping for a new fighter fleet - in which case, cost is not an issue.

That set-up with the 104 is the funniest damn thing I've seen in ages!

I don't read any 'forum' in particular. When I log on, I click on 'View new posts" and see if there is a topic of interest.

Not sure what the RCMP is like; but many federal government jobs that go through the public service commission can regularly take 8 - 14 months. You put in an application and about a month after you've given up any hope of hearing back, you finally hear from them. You'll write a test or something, a...

If there is an afterlife ..... I'd bet Gary Powers is sitting up there somewhere, beer in hand, laughing his ass off over this. Either this is some sort of a trojan horse type of thing - a concocted incident in which Iran has been allowed to think they've won a valued prize; Or, the US are a bunch o...

Listen to the radio for a couple of hours each day for a month, during the morning and evening commuting hours. You will hear of countless serious and fatal accidents - stretches of our highway system are shut down each and every day for accidents. Does that make road transportation in Canada overal...

Sincere condolences to the family, friends & coworkers of those involved.

Extremely safe! Just like it is everywhere else in the country... Thanks for asking.

I had the lady at the CVG terminal page Mike Hunt, several times before she turned red and slinked off the scene... I had a friend whose name really was Mike Hunt. A bunch of us went out shopping one day (summer camp type of thing, car pooled into town in a shared vehicle). Anyways, we got separate...

That's on a cable connection (Cogeco).

I'm looking for the cheapest float rating in Ontario. Q1: Who does the float rating cheapest in Ontario? Q3: Does it get cheaper as it gets close to winter? If so, when would it be the cheapest time to do the training? Okay, so fine - one of your questions was 'who is best (even if not the cheapest...

...I'm not really a coverup conspiracy theorist, but the silence from the TSB is getting loud. They know by now if the HSI was running off the VOR frequency. If that were the cause, they would have given an update on the accident by now... TSB investigations often take a year or more before a repor...

There was a time when you could fly with a gliding center as a volunteer C.I. (Civilian Instructor); but times change. A few years back, there was a real push on to get all of the CI's to either join up as CIC officers, or make it less appealing for them to stay. CI's were no longer able to fly as a...

Seriously, now that I've got your attention with all of those '@' symbols - don't be a cheap @#$!.
If you plan on learning a new skill set, find out who is the best, not who is cheapest.
