The quality sucks but this was on the first revenue flight of our new toy
I knew that was the PC strip. Who's got the caravan out of Simpson? ...or is that someone out of Ft. Nelson? Looks like WA colours. Confirm? Checked the site but not listed among the fleet.

If it is WA I'm surpirsed to see the pod. No float work for it :cry:. I guess you'd never get out of the Honey Moon Lakes anyway.

STL, you are such a dick-head! Just when I think that you must have used all your great photo's out you come with another one.
There is a reason that I have told me wife to scatter my ashes over the Wind, Bonnet Plume, Snake watersheds.

Lol,

Thanks... I think! Can't break out ALL the pics at once... need to string you along slowly! That's actually at the Ross River/Big Timber River area along the North Canol Rd.

See what else I can dig up.

A little strange but it is scanned into the computer.

LLX, DTL, APR and XUO at Ignace.

And the tail of Charlie Robinsons 172 way in the back lol.
I'm not up to snuff on my bush planes, but what kind of plane is off the right wing of the beaver in that picture? Norseman?

Took this a couple of days ago in Corfu Greece, it is equipped with GPWS.

The world is going nuts when you have to put GPWS in a day VFR machine, but the voice prompt makes you think you are flying an Airbus on landing.

It would be handy on glassy water though because the voice prompt is accurate down to ten feet....and JC would love it in a whiteout.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no


After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.
