Thanks guys

I dig

Anybody know where to find that cool video. I saw it once,
through a link here or possibly another av forum site.
Its the 205 with longline picking up a drill or something on crisp
clear day, as he starts pulling pitch with the load his M/R starts
creating FG.

Cheers.

No bush there [fingers crossed]

yup, and with the sign off barely dry end up watching you polish off a few ceasars at the cabin lounge.

you got that right. i'm getting comfy being a typical chopper pilot, blissfully unaware of reg's whilst making more flying my 2 seat chopper than I ever did as a fixed winger. Cheers though. just had a low time chick here saying that when she did her fixed wing then chopper back to back that she had...

Hey. I'm a 3500hr fixed winger with about 2000 multi pic on PA31's. I hold a current Group 1 IFR and PPC on the Ho. Currently I'm flying helicopters commercialy in VFR ops and I hold a Heli Night rating. I'd like to attain my Group 4 IFR, and am wondering what hoops I have to jump through [training ...

...and its a large company with many young employees in my demograph [20's] , very very social atmosphere.

Your joking right. This company is night and day compared with death-trap bagrun companies. Probably the highest paid fixed wing pilots in Canada for what there flying [single cessnas] My T4's there were always around 55K+ per diems on the Ho, working 20 on and 10 off. Only the odd survey company ca...

One kamov passed through Whitecourt a few days back, going on a job for Airborne.

Looks more like a poorly handled Hydraulic failure.

One hell of a hold over, wonder if the crew grew tired of hangin in the hotel and got other jobs, wife, paper routes ect.

Instead of the 'Porta Pottie' You could pick up the ones from Greenwood, last I saw they were sitting outside a surplus store in Aylesford N.S.
Still had the transport thunderbolt and roundel paint jobs.

And the conversion is a 60hr min. If your not 'johnny on the spot' with all the lessons it'll cost ya more. I got on with a chopper company a week outta my conversion, two years later and I'm finaly out of the fixed wing department on a R-22.

Better than workin the ramp.

No regrets

It was very common for Fighter guys to hold up centerfold pics against there canopies to show the Commies they intercepted over the arctic that our society was kick-ass and theres F#$kin sucked. A great way to show them what there missing. That or have your backseater get all unhooked and press his ...

True Dat It's called Alberta, and the roads are paved with gold or something. For the first few years i kinda missed home, but when i go back now it's boring as all hell. except for the cottage. Now I'm used to big service roads running along the highways in towns, engine retarder breaks all night, ...

"DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM" ?

Ahhh, partying with pro-flighters.

Good God it's called Fort McMoney people, and you dont have to get made famous on TV in an orange jumper. Just a working knowledge of Newfinesse, and you too could go from rags to riches.

Hypocrisy. the pratice of professing beliefs, feelings or virtues that one does not hold or posses. falseness. I slageed a short term job that seemed to be a little light on the pay, offered my two cents,yeah this full time pay scale looks very nice. Good rant though broompusher, for a guy who used ...

throw in one of those helmets and you got yourself a deal.

and half that burger

Sure thing Dust Devil. But I want $150 a day plus travel and housing. hehehehe Sorry i couldnt resist. Been waiting in YBF for survey wx the last few days. Getting a little stir crazy, no History channel on the hotel cable so naturaly i find myself on avcanada between wanks. Actualy I wish anonymus1...

I never claimed that i made that much, it would be a rare 20 days on that i flew 100hrs [though $6000 isnt uncommon]. I am on the job right now though, chillin in my hotel room with my company provided laptop making min flight pay, ect. Or as you say 'wasting time on the internet'. Kinda funny that ...

hhmmm. initialy you were looking for a guy with experiance to get his a$$ up there asap for a 6-8 week contract. You'd have to expect to pay above average for that. From your last post it seems like your looking for a guy to fly your Ho and possibly offer him full time employment, at which $150 a da...

Are they hiring ?

I'm sure a few canuck bush pilots would be a welcome addition to some of there ops. If they dont mind non-american citizens.

Air America the movie kinda sucked but the book was cool.
