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 . I guess you'd never get out of the Honey Moon Lakes anyway.
Hi All. Thanks for the amazing photos. I've been off the line for a while fighting an illness and these pictures truly make me realize how lucky we pilots are to do what we do, and how much I miss flying. Keep em coming!!!
i have a bunch of nice shots, but im working with a slow connection , so getting these on here was lucky. they are from my summer working as a dockhand
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.

Wouldn't the prudent owner/operator use every tool economically available to him/her to enhance situational awareness?
What I found so weird was hearing the voice prompt in the headsets just exactly like I was sitting in a Boeing or an Airbus and I was in a T.O on floats...weird...
I wonder if the manufacturers of the GPWS had any input in the decision to make GPWS mandatory in VFR day only float planes in Europe?
There is the woody factor though for some pilots I bet hearing all that high tech stuff just like the big jets.....

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.

Desksgo, if a pilot is to fuc.in stupid to be able to figure out how high they are flying day VFR paying about a quarter of a million dollars for GPWS is not the answer.....
