Boozy and Driving Rain have pretty much hit the nail on the head. Around 20k per block (if they are good ones) and anywhere from 75 to 120 for a good plane. If you get into the racket be sure you find someone in the business to help you along. Its not hard to keep a couple dozen alive in July but 40...

Don't forget DIVORCE

that is really all the info you need

Hey you are gonna have a blast. We were there last December for 2 weeks and went on alot of excursions. Personally I would avoid xcaret it was very busy with long lines and once you are done the snorkel tour you have to walk back in bare feet if (you did not bring anything to walk in) on less than p...

Hey should be strung up by his eyelids and kicked in the balls till he blinks!

Hey relax already! All I was saying is that I have heard some of the old bush pilots talk about those kind of loads way back when! It sure don't take much to get you guys all riled up does it. With all the years between you 2 guys I am sure either of you has never seen an overloaded aircraft?

I am not trying to get out of line here but how come 20 years ago a beaver leaving the dock with 4 turkeys on board and full fuel heading to the Arctic was considered OK not to mention the B-18 with 2400 to 2600 pds of stuff and people or a 185 with 3 guys and 400 pounds of stuff is good to go? Have...

I have everything you might need. havent used it in 2 years PM me if you want some stuff.

cheers on you Doc they get a bad rap most of the time and it is good to hear some positive feed back for a change. They are a good group!

in regards to step taxiing down wind just go to the hangar and ask the smallest guy there how he feels about being inside a float on the wrong end of a rivet gun.

Willy did you get caught trying to steal the rum again???

I guess if MAT has not hung these guys why should we? And by the way it was a good video and obviously done by some skilled flyers. Nice safe flybys with an out at each end.

Snowgoose: Northern Canada for starters. If you put a blanket policy out there too remove all the guns how are some of these people gonna support their families? It is a way of life for them, it is a tool that is a part of their life that they use to survive. What about the trappers that need them f...

Guns don't kill people! People kill people using guns. It would be like banning airplanes after September 11th. In the right hands they are both usfull.

I know there are alot of young/new guys on Avcanda reading these threads so I will direct my 2 cents toward them. Remember first off that every body was a new guy at one time and were wearing the same shoes you are. With that being said also remember that no body owes you anything. If you pay attent...

sorry to hear about your scrape glad you are OK

where would be the best place to do a conversion and what is the industry like as far as getting that first job?

I think it is because in the early days when they first started flying them on floats they tried to make it perform like a normal twin engine airplane. That is not the case!! All the second engine does with a fully loaded Beech is flatten out your glide slope a little. Some people early on had some ...

sure sucks to be limited to 140! and you don't even have to pull the power back when you got 205 HEHE

Don't you know that at your age if you look at that picture too many times; when the alzhiemers kicks in that is all you will be able to remember. Or is that your Plan???

sorry not KAS

position has been filled thanks everybody who showed interest

no arguments from this end.

by the way you sound like someone i know

Boozy all those times are pretty close but a little more twin time would be required say around 150 to 200.

14 pms total and some of them pretty good. If any of them are interesting I will forward my e-mail and go from there. Thanks for the interest guys and appreciate everyone who has looked. The ideal person would be able to cross train on otters both turbine and piston as well as beaver,185 and 206 to ...
