Conair 802 fuel starvation?
I heard through the moccasin telegraph that an Conair 802 operating in AB. was forced down because of fuel starvation.
Any particulars on this incident would be appreciated.

If the pilot managed to find a nice,soft farmer's field around Whitecourt...well...that was one lucky pilot! I've had the (mis)fortune of spending a lot of time in the HWY 43 corridor, and swamp spruce/moose are a lot more common than round bales/cows!
Please don't tell my mother that I work in the Oilpatch...she still thinks that I'm the piano player at a whorehouse.
No worries about that pilot's skin just yet, Flybabe. I'm in Valleyview right now (200km NW from Whitecourt), and no bugs just yet. Still too cold at night, which has me very happy, seeing as I'm spending 12-14 hour days working outdoors!

Ksnsas corn??? Feed it to the pigs. No self respecting Albertian would let anything but TABER corn past their lips.5x5 wrote:Flybabe,
just watch out yourself for the swarm of earwigs next time you open a cob of that wonderful Kansas corn.
Of course, if you do your job well, there won't be any bugs, will there?
