Referred to as "worker abuse", although it sounds like some of these new hires were made to work for free, not just a discount.

Just wanted to clarify that it isn't planned out in advance by the receiving country. Within the treaty countries, you can go visit any other country with fairly short notice and the flight plan goes in after you arrive, that is the first time the receiving nation would be aware of what you intend t...

How did the Indian dude get hired? TFW? Does Gilles know about this?

Tons of respect for that. I'm not quite there yet, but it's an idea if 172s are still roaming the skies in 30 yrs.

According to UK reports (and others), a NOTAM was issued early in the day about military activity in "that" airspace. Do any of you know where/how to check the NOTAM, and the source of it? https://www.notams.faa.gov/dinsQueryWeb/queryRetrievalMapAction.do?retrieveLocId=Ukfv&actionType=notamRetrieva...

I believe it's 9 for ROTP(?), however for pilots you sign up for 7 years after you earn wings.

Air Force Facebook said there would be a press release coming today about them heading out.

Had a friendly 767 ingest the glass cover of a runway light that wasn't properly secured while I was an operations guy for the Canadian det at a foreign field. The engine held up surprisingly well, numerous dings and dents on the fan but nothing that couldn't be buffed to within limits. There were a...

If you can afford the flex to wait for a good VFR day it's a really nice way to spend a couple of hours in a plane and should ease your worries a bit. If you've had some experience already flying around crows nest you'll be fine, there are no ridge crossings or anything on either the north or south ...

American's are using their brand new P-8 (Boeing 737-800) Poseidon to search 1500 miles west of Perth Australia. Personally with all the USA's military satellites - I doubt very much they'd send a P-8 to search unless they actually believe that is where MH370 is. Aussies committing to this too. Tha...

B52 I agree with you that it's in the ocean somewhere and all the conspiracy type theories are out there. I think in time it will be made public just how horrible Malaysian SAR capabilities and management have been, and they're going to spend years trying to find a black box for this jet. Even the d...

Welcome to the forum, and flying, Riley.

Nice to see someone bringing it back, hope it catches on!

I am wondering how much a Harvard II costs. I am interested in other discussion on the Harvard II. I did think they were owned by the government, I did believe the claim bombardier owned them. Now I believe milit-air owns them. Iirc MILIT-AIR was created to comply with US rules about exporting mili...

Please explain how the creation of a not-for-profit, taxexempt, non-share capital corporation, for the sole purpose of acquiring and making available the assets (read the sims and the aircrafts) to Bombardier, makes it really practically wrong to say that the industrial group led by Bombardier is t...

I don't know specifically abut the ones in your document, but I do work alongside some current and former RAF guys at an RCAF squadron. This is just the way that I understand their situations: Some are here temporarily, are not RCAF officers nor Canadian citizens. It's a similar arrangement to excha...

Purchase cost of one unit equipped as owned by milit-air. My caregiver read .. .'s link it did not mention how many planes they bought for $720 million. I'm also interested in what cool extra options they have in addition to those Martin Baker seats? Air, tilt and cruise. We didn't spring for white...

As soon as Google's autonomous self driving car gets onto a showroom floor people will warm right up to the same idea in an airplane. Wouldn't take much to shake that confidence though. I don't buy the 'pilot on the ground' thing. He can put one in as easily from an office as he can on board, and wi...

Sure the fuel burn is a bit more, but seriously what's the extra cost per seat mile of a pax that weighs in 50lbs heavier than another on a plane that size? When you add 50 pounds per person for half the passengers (probably about accurate) for every flight done every day for 365 days. The amount o...

Gotta say I'm a little surprised to see you guys so in favour of this policy. I think it makes sense when Air Samoa is driving 172s and Islanders, which are probably flying around at max weight all the time. In this case, they likely have to turn pax away from the 4th and 8th seats once in awhile wh...

I've been through and it took a hell of a lot of red tape to even get Jet A. Good luck!

Nice episode tonight, got to show the wife a bit of what we do on the C130!

RCAF issues a sharpie sized pelican light that has always served me well.

Trenton might be closer and a good runway, but as someone who calls it home let me assure you dropping 500 people in their lap with 20 min notice would be a terrible idea.

USAF Museum in Dayton, OH. Bit of a drive but it's a good spot.
