Re: I think every pilot should do at least 1 skydive!

I have to admit skydiving is something I would like to have tried at least once. You can always see the results of the adrenaline rush and exhilaration on the faces of those who have a successful landing.

Southwest Tire Fire On Landing- Pass Evac- One Dumb Ass

Re: So what do you do for fun, Planes and???????????????????????

These landscaping projects have been ongoing for nearly 15 years now. My intentions are to use only natural products. All the stone, dirt, and plants are located o...

Re: Olympic security screw up

By this information, can I safely assume there will be metal detectors and pre-board screening check points set up on the Trans Canada Highway ensuring Vancouver will be safe from un-screened people entering the "Vancouver Green Zone" in their cars?
