When I flew YQT to YYZ in January I chose not to use Flair because I couldn't risk being stuck there for a week! Flew home West Jet for double the price. Not sure the average consumer knows enough about airlines to make that choice.

That would be fun to fly!

Hear here.

Neat airplane. Would love to fly one!

Are more details on the engine available?

Back to log book adverts I see....

Seriously??

Now reported Sunwing cancelling flights out of the Prairies due to lack of pilots.

Camping in southern Ontario is not worth it. Over crowded, groomed sites and pricey.

"Don't worry about the little airplane, we'll just blow it out of the way."

I always feel sorry watching students in control zones paying $250/hr and up waiting for a clearance, then having to fly out of a control zone. DA40 is even more expensive.

You will save thousands learning at an uncontrolled field with a good instructor.

Hope they pull through ok. 401 would be my last choice but sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

It seems they are at least prioritizing CAT1 over CAT3. 3 years since my last one was processed now.

Works great if you have like minded people. Diminished return for cost savings vs availability beyond 3.

Clear agreement in writing recommended. Run it like a business...

Sure sounds like an advert to me.

Give it a bit, I think prices will come down. We've seen such a high increase in value over the past few years, I believe they are overpriced in the current market. Once reality sets in and people have to keep paying $200 to fill their SUV and $8 for a lb of butter things will change. Look at housin...

Likely will become a civil matter.

Maybe if he chose to do a runup the engine would have quit before he got in the air? I know it's a gravel strip but he could have applied power slowly down the runway for a runup and backtracked before takeoff.

Heard it was on approach to RNY 23. I know the tail # but waiting for it to be released publicly.

Don't buy a lightspeed. Product support is terrible, and you have to pay cross border shipping there and back for any service.

DC 10-13.4 is perfect for training. Still have mine and use them for short aerobatic flights.

Our club's tow plane has a portable one we stick on the dash. Very basic but works well.

I'm at the 50K Pitts adrenaline stage myself...Just short 40k.

I still feel the market will fall in the next 12 months, just not sure to what degree. I was happy to sell my Cherokee not that long ago for 34K. It was well equipped VFR. Now the same airplane is 50-60K.

I would wait if I were you. The economy is starting to crash with inflation. Anyone who owes money on things shortly will be looking to lighten the load....

Correct.
