Chris Snowball's funeral was held today (June 7, 2013). There were approximately 1000 people in attendance to pay their final fairwells to Chris. A lot of tears, some laughter, and a lot of self reflection in evidence. A very moving eulogy by Chris's Ornge and former Wabusk collegue, Derek Wharrie, ...

A very unhappy day.
RIP my friend.

Please PM medics' names - my friend and former collegue was working his last shift in YMO before transferring to YQT. Hoping he wasn't on board.
RIP

More free apps for the iphone: Jet Fueling - pretty useful for simply converting volume to weight, or for calculating max fuel load; touchPlan - good flight planning app. Seems to have all, or at least most Canadian and US airports and navaids, and many waypoints. It suggests that it will upload the...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-17605770 An 80-year-old US woman with little flying experience has staged an emergency landing in Wisconsin after her pilot husband collapsed and died. Helen Collins remained calm as she brought the small Cessna plane in to land at Cherryland Airport, even...

You won't be flying commercially in Canada with Type I.. Type II requires a shit ton of exemptions and paperwork. Also, wouldn't it be contravening the cars to be operating with a disease or other known ailment that massively weakened the immune system and caused other such troubles? How would one ...

and it does piss the rest of us off too! Especially now that we get any unused sick leaveaid out at retirement at 50%, there are a few people who see staying home sick as costing them money 25 years later! Pathetic! Well said :D And this was in the UK, where you coudl self-certify the first 5 days ...

I'm shocked that at this point "coming to work sick because I'm afraid of my reputation" is the most-clicked answer. I guess that for a lot of newly qualified pilots in their first or second flying job, that whole "I'm not worthy" BS is still in their mindset.....but that's a topic that has been "d...

So, what are your views on this? Should you work no matter who else you might infect, or do you stay at home living off Advil and NeoCitran. I'm asking this as I crewed a charter a few weeks ago with a crew member recovering from bronchitis, but who was constantly coughing. We were in the aircraft f...

200 section at MTS centre isn't too bad. It's still lower bowl, we are a section and a half away from the stage. When I took my daughter to Britney Spears we had 300 ( upper deck) tickets and got moved down to the same section. Britney Spears - for that sacrifice you deserve floor tickets and all-a...

Seriously what does a guy have to do to get floor tickets anyway? I finally got through to ticketmaster 4 minutes after the sale supposedly opened and they were already selling the top of the second balcony for $90 a seat! What a joke. I joined the fan club that got me nothing. Did anybody go out a...

That's because he followed the Rocky Mountain Way.....He should've taken the Highway To Hell, as any US politician surely knows!!!!

Oooopps! I guess I must have missed that part in Human Factors training! I'm off to hit all my limbs with a big hammer and learn the geeetar!

Sorry, just had to!!

Was having same issue with pro version (actually, no Canadian TAFs at all) and checked their website From the developer's website at http://www.aeroweather.ch ..... TAF issue: TAFs may (randomly) not be loaded correctly. Updates of apps are at Apple for review. Latest Versions in App Store: Update ...

I've been running AeroWeather Lite on my iPhone 4 for over a year with no problems. However, over the last few days it seems to be very selective as to what aerodromes/airports it will list TAFs for. I've checked for updates - mine is upto date. (version 1.2.7(02)). Even tried to old PC fixit - swit...

If Coke can shift all these different stains, what the hell is it doing to your stomach lining when you drink it???

So the US have asked Iran for their misssing Airfix plane back. But the Secrety Of State (Hilary Clinton) doesn't expect Iran to return it. I wonder how long it is before the US is looking to invade Iran on the pretext of looking for atomic powered pocket calculators, plutonium covered protractors a...
