Re: 407 Landing?
Initial info the TSB gave to the media tonight: - the pilot is experienced with lots of night flying - the plane had plenty of fuel in the tanks upon landing on the 407 You can read into the last statement.

Re: Plane crash near Lake Muskoka
Unconfirmed registration is C-GGMG. Police confirm it's a Cessna 206 on floats which matches the registration. Aircraft crashed right in the middle of three cottages, less than 100m from each one.

Re: Life Insurance
You should have gotten life insurance BEFORE you started flying. I know it doesn't help you now. I got mine a few years before, I clearly remember the question was to the lines of, "are you or do you have any intentions of becoming an aircraft pilot." Just like the line that reads "have you, or do y...

Re: Greenbank Ontario Fatal Crash
Looks like its a couple hundred feet beside rwy 16/34 in a farmer's field. So technically it's not "really" at the airport. But still. A few people who flew over it said there's nothing left of the aircraft, except for charred remains.

try downloading the trial version of Crossover and see if it works... It's hit and miss, but at least you don't need to install windows.
