Re: Why so many old accident threads are being resurrected #

Oh, btw Boomer, you appear to be new here and all, but it's generally unnecessary (and somewhat bad form) t...

Re: Kids.....Don't try this at home......
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...

Re: Internet explorer for Windows 7
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...

Re: RCMP hiring
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...

Re: Did Iran literally hijack a US stealth drone?
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...

Re: How safe is Air Travel in Yellowknife?
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...

Re: Silly harmless pranks.
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...

Re: @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Float Rating in Onta
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...

Re: 25 Lessons Learned In 25 Hrs.
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...
