YWG Aviation Night Out

Ok:

I didn't start this thread to have it hijacked over radio calls.

Let's see if a bunch of us here in the Peg can drink the town dry or something useful, not hack on each other.

What does everyone think of Sat the 23rd? Let me know. I have a buddy that manages Finn's at the Forks, I can call and see if he'll set something aside for us. Hopefully a deal but I have to check. If there are any other ideas, feel free to let me know. I'm open to anything. If most of us live close to the Airport and want to meet in that area, that's cool too (I've been known to imbibe at Dylan O'Connors and I'm sure could have a section put aside by the staff there too). Just let me know what you all think. If the 23rd doesn't work, I'm in YYZ for 10 days after that, and wont be able to make anything until Oct (not that you all couldnt go somewhere without me..lol).

Yeah or Ney on the date, and location, let me know.

Finn's sounds good to me, and Saturday might even work.
Anyone else?

What bugs me is the float drivers that call off buttfuck lake for shit hole lake, when they are the only ones who know where they are because the lakes are not the VNC. Wish they would call in respect to a nearby airdrome.

What do you care about the call the green machine makes, you don't fly in Manitoba you are in NWO.
Uh dumb ass, we can hear "the green machine" calls all over NWO. They serve no one but themselves with those ridiculous position reports and on top of that, if you're going to make a position report like that... SPEED IT UP! I can take off from "buttfuck" lake and land at "shit hole lake" in the time it takes MOST (not all) perim guys to make a position report.

-thecaptain, 207 NM east of Winnipeg... 247 se of Island Lake

Good to see your back Johnson, hows ZAC?

23rd I will be hoing it down in Yorkon, WOOOOHOOOOO....

Sorry Pie Lot, didn't mean to mess up your post, I just couldn't resist.

Your plan sounds good, wish I could get into the Peg for it.

How about hitting the Windsor Hotel on Garry Friday or Saturday, excellent blues bands and real cheap draft. The cover is usually $5.

I don't fly at green machine altitudes myself, and I do know where Island Lake is, and it still means f*ck-all to me when someone makes a position report "140 north of Winnipeg"

In fact, if anyone reading this post is making a position report that involves three digits to express the relative distance, give your head a shake and tell the rest of us something meaningful.

Further, if this procedure makes sense, why are Perimeter the only ones who do it?

Well, here's the thing...
tonight, coming home from Island Lake, having just made a position report 45 south of Island, a King Air 200 (company un-named) decided not to make a "65 south, airport in 15" call and narrowly escaped a mid air with a "green machine" (2 miles away, head on, stopped the descent 500 feet shy of oncoming traffic, only after being yelled at on 26.7) and then due to utterly fabulous airmanship, had a hard time getting by two more Metro's all within 20 miles...
So please, if ur reading this post, calling on 26.7 "70 south leaving FL180, landing in 20" does mean a lot to most people out there with good airmanship, so make the f*cking call!!!

Ever thought that PAG pretty much owns Manitoba and those 26.7 calls just might be calls, mostly, for other company flights in the area?

I'm not saying "don't make the call", dumbass. What I am saying is make the call relative to somewhere that matters, instead of making everything in relation to distances out of Winnipeg.

PAG may think they own Manitoba. If so, that's their problem. They do not own 26.7, and do not write the rules on how to make a sensible position report.

I suppose the "make every call relative to your distance north of Winnipeg" was probably Mark ("Miserable") Killen's idea, wasn't it?

I think most people would rather have a position report based on a DME fix rather than "4 miles west of (insert Butt-$#*@-Lake that no one has ever heard of here)". Maybe your idea would be better suited to a province which actually has somewhere that matters from which to make position reports.

Nice try at a dig, but anyone flying around central or northern MB has a pretty good idea of where the major points are that PAG flies in to. What they probably don't know is how far that point is from Wpg, which is why it is senseless to use Wpg as a reference.

SNJ...Living off the scraps?? I did a whole day of freight with you that I now do the same weight in one trip. And I can get to YWG in an hour and 30...not 3 hours with a detour to Oxford or God's. For sure the largest, but they don't own ALL of it..

....now for this YWG night out...i'm sure you're up for swiggin' a few brews, smokin a doobe and talkin tough with some of your fellow aviators....
