Not for flight planning...that's done in the aircraft commander's head on the way to the hangar. Some bases have Wing Ops who assist in calling out crew, arranging fuel. We use Sqn Ops for that.

Does Alaska have some type of SAR outpost? Would it be feasible as a starting point for Canada N of 60? If so, would this be a viable option - to come to some agreement with the US about sharing resources? SAR is not bound by borders. If an American resource is closer, or can provide assistance, th...

If the price is right and the airplane is in good shape don't worry about the 135 HP. the rest of the airplane more than makes up for it. . . Good advice. I had a Piper Clipper (the precurser to the Pacer...no flaps, stick, 0235 Lycoming, smaller tanks) for a few years and it was damn good fun. A l...

Last count I heard was 166K specs!!! Awesome!!! I was flying in and out of YQB all last week and we got to watch mini airshows of the SB`s BA`s and TB`s all week...in fact on Friday night we were the second last aircraft to fly out of YQB and on the roll I glanced out my left window and there were ...

There are 2 reserve slots on the Cormorant...one in Comox (SAR YQQ....is he actually flying/teaching at the school or working ops? Haven't talked to him in a long while). The other reserve flying position is in Gander.

Are you fortunate to have the Jalapeno and chedder cheese spread? What about the "4 fingers of death"? Are you fortunate to have the Jalapeno and chedder cheese spread? What about the "4 fingers of death"? Can't say we have either, but I don't eat them too often anymore...just what's carried on boa...

Price includes 6 months in a 4-man recce tent, with your choice of IMP's (Ham Steak w/Mustard ONLY) or UGR-A's, Menu's 1 through 3. I still can't eat ham and pineapple.....ugh......the IMP selection has come a long way in the last 10 yrs. I did, however, love those cherry cakeish desserts. Rescue.

The 310 still doesn't take pipes (haven't heard of any yet anyways), the C17 does and some have already been selected.

JRCC has a crash database.

They don't make them like they used to!! Long live the BT.

Why not?

Send me yer new number (I'm sure I have it somewhere...)....we'll be around probably 10-13 ish time frame, NOTL for a few days.

ha ha ha....pricks.

Frosty, are you in YSN the second week of July?

Hooooooooolllld the phone (unless it's a tour)......I don't owe squat!!! But if that's what it takes to remain in the big top... Well, at least I didn't try to hide it. And hey, at least I got a number....and a hotel room key (bastards!!). Flying Low....I think I just clued in to who you are.....wou...

Julie was the hairy french one (member when spicky wetback was making rude comments in french....). Man hands...forgot about her...that's funny.

aaaaaaaaaannntonnne.....

Much love,

PS What happen to NAT Cancun 99, 00, 01 etc etc...

Out of curiosity, I dug out old logbooks....in 98 - 350ish, 99 - 550ish.

Pay was considerably different when we were there.....and most of it went to Crabby Joe's on Tuesday nights. Ah memories of Julie and Jessica....

Let me tell you something about Niagara Air Tours. You will never...EVER...find a better place to work in Southern Ontario...INCLUDING working for Air Canada :wink: (j/k) The guy running the show now is perhaps THE most professional individual this industry has/will EVOOOR see. I worked back when I...

Well, what specifically are you looking for from the operational side? I started out civvy (working with the likes of I am Birdog), then switched to military. Would I change anything? Maybe flown more civvy, maybe applied to the CF earlier....either way, I don't regret it. Military aviation is an en...

I'm not doubting your credentials, but, as a daily operator of the 149, this is what I'm told. Plus I checked with our maintainers. Heavy maintenance begins at approx 2000 hrs (which most Cormorants are in the vicinity of) and the aircraft is out of service for a considerable amount of time. Aircraf...

The Cormorants are not grounded. The one's you see in Trenton are in routine scheduled heavy maintenance. There are still 4 in Greenwood (we have one in routine maintenance and 2-3 serviceable depending on the day) , 3 in Gander and 5 in Comox. Trenton's fleet was replaced with Griffons to relieve a...

I thought you were 40 a long time ago, maybe it was the hair.

"hey what happens if I pull the red handle?'' Good thing we pay our taxes to cover fu-k ups like that. Nice to know that the safety of our country relies on highly trained, skilled and intelligent individuals. The opinion of a moron who has most likely never flown an aircraft equipped with an eject...

I kinda like this one.......

"the tail rotor stops cancels the torque, but also blows the helicopter sideways. if the rotor blows to the right, the helicopter will tend to go left. if it blows left, then heli will move right."

Congrats on the first job Jason!!
