So here it is March 20th and it is snowing and hailing. I hate winter!! No flying this morning at least, so I am off to the hanger and finish polishing my wall hanger, a HS AG200-2. It is going to look awsome when
finished:-)

but then reality slapped me in the face, so I hung up my head set and got a senable job.

Yup, snowing while I was in Bute Inlet yesterday. Who's the sucker up on the wing of the Beaver de-icing?

duCapo, where is that (at low tide too)?

And what's a "HS AG200-2?"

duCapo · Post by **duCapo** » Wed Mar 21, 2007 6:55 am

That's Seal Cove (Prince Rupert) and that that's a 22 foot tide. Hamilton Standard 2 blade prop (beavertail) We bought i a few years ago from the ]Prop Shop in Oklahoma City. Asshole had certified it with some pitting at the blade root, and it would not passs inspection up here. So if it sounds like too good a deal to pass up....................

The Otter's not really departing in that crap is it? If so, did he make it?

I have no comment to make on the operational practises of the other operator up here.

But you'll post pictures of them taking off in shite weather on the internet.

That was a photo of the shitty show. I said nothing about them flying.

I had to go back and a: look at the tide, b: look at the de-cing, c: look at the shite weather. All 3 returns to the photo showed no one taking off.

Maybe a guy taxiing, but maybe he has just just going to moor the aircraft, maybe he was a she? Maybe the wx really wasn't all that bad..

Jeez you sure can read a lot into a picture. Maybe a thousand words, but 900 of them BS.

I don't think there was harm intended in the post!

JUst for the record, they were moving the otter to the ramp for more deiceing. Also if Iam going to trash someone, I will come right out and say so if needed.

Sorry man. I just didn't want to see people trying to get the competition in shit by taking pictures of them in questionable conditions. I apologize.

It's a good reminder for others to think about though. There are cameras everywhere these days. I just got finished watching a video of a turbo otter buzzing some guys in a mining camp that they promptly posted on youtube. So even in the middle of the bush you're not safe from Big Brother.

duCapo, having worked there years ago, I can see now that its Seal Cove. That's the dock where the RCMP boat and the Alexander McKenzie used to dock.

I was at NCAS' dock, would have been to the left.

Cool photo - I didn't get anything sinister from it.

NCAS dock is just past my Sporty with the Otter tied up. The terminal has been rebuilt and is mine now. You wouldn't recognise the place. Thing I miss the most is the pool table:-)

The best thing about the 'terminal' was not the pool table but the beer fridge! In my day, there wasn't a pub on the corner and Seal Cove was a long way from town.

What's real estate doing there now?

duCapo · Post by **duCapo** » Wed Mar 21, 2007 11:58 am

Well Sollys Pub is just across the old bridge and realestate is a sellers market. The container port has really helped the economy up here
