Hi, I am looking for a general admission ticket for the airshow this Saturday? DM if you have one (or more) for sale.

Thanks

I haven't posted here in years but I couldn't stay silent on a very salient topic that personally hits close to home. I will not speculate what was the cause or who is to blame but I will say this. Kudos to the crew in bringing the Ho down without fatalities. I know there was a couple of medevacs as...

Stumbled upon this..... Proud to fly a Turboprop: Q400 vs ATR72 It’s time for another A vs. B comparison. This time around though, it isn’t between Airbus and Boeing, but the world’s two most popular regional turboprop aircraft, the ATR-72 and the Bombardier Q400. The Indian short haul segment was, ...

Transport Minister Steve Ashton. (MIKE DEAL / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS) Transport Minister Steve Ashton's wife is being investigated as a possible threat to air safety after an incident that also raises questions about whether the senior cabinet minister acted inappropriately. The Free Press has learned ...

Found this article on avweb... Restricted Airspace, Rented Plane, Hijack Code By Glenn Pew, Contributing Editor, Video Editor A pilot flying from an Ottawa airport last Wednesday in a rented Cessna 172M inadvertently set his transponder to broadcast the hijack code and then inadvertently flew into r...

April 20, 2010 FOUR WATER BOMBERS TO BE ADDED TO PROVINCE'S FOREST FIREFIGHTING ARSENAL: SELINGER Four new 415 turboprop water-bomber aircraft from Bombardier Aerospace are being added to the province’s forest firefighting air fleet, Premier Greg Selinger announced today. “This is a major upgrade to...

Although Northwest did a very demeaning and crass thing here, there is a lesson to be learnt here. What would you do if for example you had your medical yanked? Did you manage to nest enough to make your car/house payments for a couple of months? What about work? Do you have other job skills to fall...

It is good to see a entry level pilot asking for advice as far too many 200 hour wonders think they are all that and a bag of chips. Value Village is a good place to get your bush clothes. After your t-shirts become too dirty to wear you can always turn them into rags for keeping your a/c clean. Do ...

I think that it's a case of a few "bad apples spoiling the bunch." Call me polyanistic but I think that there still exists a brotherhood/sisterhood in aviation. I've travelled extensively and have run into a lot of pilots from every branch of aviaition. Every one was friendly and many "hangar flying...

ZMT, I don't know what your hours are but Northway is where more than a few pilots got there first flying job, provided they do time on the dock/ramp first. The dock bitch/ramp rat job will definitely be for a minimum of one season and possibly part of a second season, but you will eventually get on...

EI payed for 1/2 of my co-workers mulit-ifr. He produced a letter from our boss stating that he would be re-hired next season if he received that training. He wasn't payed up front but rather received reinbursement when the training was done. This occurred in MB and the training had to be at a autho...

Every year our fax machine churns out a mountain of resumes from many a "200 hour wonder." I know the competition can be cut throat so it is paramount to stand out from the rest. Initial impressions are important and a resume conveys that. If your resume is full of syntax and spelling errors then th...

If you a Beaver driver, be careful if you place then upright. Slamming them down on the floor will crack the belly tanks. A leaky tank is no fun and your boss will be seeing red when the maintenance bill comes in.

Insurance companies exist for one reason and one reason only and that is for profit. Those bean counters in those Bay Streeet office towers are only concerned about the bottom line. A lot of aviation insurance brokers are completely ignorant about aviation. One agent my boss talked with did not know...

It's about time this forum had a positive post! In this industry it seems that the more hours a pilot attains, the more "crusty" one becomes. Those disillusioned high-time whiners should remember the types of crappy, low-paying "ground pounder" jobs they may have had before they got into flying for ...

Now that we're on subjects that start with the letter "p", I'll add one of my own, namely a puke story... I was somewhat proud that no one had ever puked on my flights until that fateful day. Two rather large natives had jumped on the sunday sched going into a N. MB reserve. As I was on final I hear...

I am all too familiar with the security industry in Winnipeg. The majority are cop wannabees wearing polyester pants and clip-on ties. They are "cut loose" after a one day "course" on the big bad rights of the security guard and away they go protecting the lives and property of the building or site ...

Beer is also known as vitamin B and as everyone knows, we need our vitamins! Nothing goes down like a beer after a sweaty hot day of chucking freight or flying turkeys around. There is no mix or ice to worry about. Just a simple twist of the wrist.

This question is for all you bush jockeys out there. Do you have a leatherman or a gerber hanging off your belt. For my first flying job, I proudly had a shiny new leatherman in its shiny new case hanging off my belt. I got grief from the others there as they were gerber affectionados. Fast forward ...

Harrison Ford's "6 Days, 7 Nights" was hilarious. Ford and that dyke find a immaculate set of floats on a crashed WWII a/c. They lop off the floats which crash to the ground and then send the floats down the river and over a waterfall. The floats remain completely intact thoughout the ordeal (where ...
