Re: What type of aircraft does Santa fly?
Lets look at the facts: He needs good short field performance. He needs a lot of cargo room. He needs the ability to land on snow. He is based at the North Pole. He likes the colour red.
I think its pretty obvious he wet leases a KBA Twotter

Re: Sean Avery
Yes, Sean Avery is a douche bag, but that is his role and he is very good at it. Watch the clip is slow mo, Smid challenges Avery, Avery looks un-interested, until Smid whacks Avery's stick.

Re: Bulk Fuel Delivery
We use PetroValue in Vancouver, but they are a cross-country operation. They are always flexible and reliable. I think our minimum order is 4,000L for Avgas. Because they are an independent distributor, they can shop around to find you the best prices.

Mac-friendly Garmin simulators
Hello friends,
I am doing my initial IFR at the moment and the next step is intro to GPS navigators. I tried the Garmin site but their sims are for PC only. Anyone here know of a Mac-friendly (preferably Garmin) GPS simulators, either online or downloadable.
Thanx for your help,
Chris

Re: Westjet Seatback IFE...??
I think I missed something. What did 12/25 have to do with IFE screens?
Also, I flew AC and United on 12/27 and 01/09 and IFE was on for all four flights.

Re: Now it's really stupid - no cabin bags allowed
Whats really bizarre is that these new security measures seem to only apply a/c bound TO the US, and not within it. I flew from YVR to LAX on the 27th and it was a gong show, extra screenings, warnings, full pat-downs for everyone, carry on limits, staying in seats for last hour and all that crap. B...

Re: iPhone or iPod Touch apps for flight planning
Use FlightTouch for my E6B and AeroWeather for my WX. I Like FlightTouch for the E6B functions as well as climb/descent planning. I does everything and more than the wheel, but much faster and easier to use. I have never taken full advantage of the leg navigation feature, as you have to input the La...
