R22 Captain, where did you take those pictures of the borek twin landing and taking off at that river bed? Is that the debeers camp on prince of wales island? If so I think I went there from resolute a couple of years ago.

2nd only to a Grumman Tigercat!! Notice the little window behind the trailing edge? It was an 'executive' aircraft once.

Last Sunday, March 9th.

We had a KBAL twotter stop in a couple days ago too, enroute YYC-Resolute. Didn't get a very good pic of it though.

Can't remember who exactly owns that Totter. It came from a dropzone in the states though, I'm pretty sure it was one from Arizona. I can only say for sure that it can t/o, land and climb to 14asl in about half of what me and my chums could in our 182/206's. First twin I ever got to fly!

Flying airplanes is easy, you just need to PAY ATTENTION. Finding a good job on the other hand takes experience, practice, and some serious talent.
