Pix From a Swamper - Remembering Craig Chenell

I think the hawk has been there now for seven, this is the second one though, the first was swapped back to Found for this one with the updated flaps, doors and seats. The swept tips were a new addition last year and they added enough stability to do away with the ventral fin.

I'm still a student in aviation but those pics are great(y) I was thinking about Bush after school and this is reenforcing my decision.

I always used to think of bush during school, too!

That's a very interesting picture. The Otter is under way yet the camera was so fast that the prop looks stopped. The airplane appears to be empty as well so I'm assuming the pilot is either leaning back or is bent over doing something in there.

The most interesting part though, is the boat on the float. One strap on the front and one on the back. This is a picture of a very brave pilot in action! I do hope the side we can't see is better secured and has at least one strap rigged to prevent fore/aft movement of the load.

seems a little funny the way the exhaust stack is pointed on that also?

.. you still don't get my point on that thread do you?

I never said that you can't fly in rocks.

You've flown there I've flowen there, and I did it on my first job.

Flying there is not harder their than anywhere else. STOP thinking your special

Well Tofo, why don't you show us some nice pics instead of picking on .. then?

You sometimes sound like "My dad's stronger than yours" dude. Remember, I started this thread which is all about pics from swampers hue?

Example from swamper Stian last night in the Arctic:

Congratulations... That's the most ignorant thing I've heard in two weeks, man I love Avcanada.

let me guess, you fly in BC and it's the most trecherous flying in the entire world

I do appreciate you demonstrating the reason for the BC image.

Tell me again how hard/ special you have to be to fly in BC and how the operators their happened to be so lucky to find you to do the flying.

c'mon admit it you guys, who else here comes on AvCanada just for the privilege of picking up one of the pearls of wisdom that flow like honey from the corners of toto's mouth?

Be honest now.

Hey Tofo,

My brain is racing to tell you in a second language that instead of picking on the coolest people here, post pics or lift off the floor and shut-up.

I am the author of this thread and if I am not nominated a moderator soon, I will ask them on a PM to shut you off.

I am really pissed-off now. I have never read anything close to positive from you yet. If you don't have a constructive or interesting remark to post, just pass and read on. Lots of other guys have something to say.

Please post a nice pic, say something nice, or leave us alone.

Do you get it?

tofo · Post by **tofo** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 11:13 pm

so ask them on a pm to shut me off.

Hell, I'll nominate you for moderator.

What's the difference between a pilot and God? - God does not think he's a pilot

703 and this is your signature line

and one day I hope to even fly a twin otter

Hey Spinner,

Wow, does that bring back memories.. You know that the current owner of that operation (you know who I mean) has a daughter who is a mother now working for an operator out here as a CSA?? God we're getting old..

For the rest of you (and you know who you are), we all know every region has it's unique difficulties. We also know that it is quite well known around the world that the BC coast is one of the toughest places to make a living in an airplane. If you don't think so, come on out here in January and I'll show you..

Cheers..
