CANADIAN AVIATION TIME CAPSULE

[V2-OMG!]

I am putting together a Canadian aviation time capsule. It will be opened October 11, 2108.
What I want are artifacts that would best represent the last 100 years of Canadian aviation.

What would you like to put into the capsule?

This is my contribution:
- the propeller from a de havilland Beaver which flew in our north
- a print-out of today's page one of all AV Can forums
- The poem "High Flight" by RCAF pilot John Gillespie Magee
High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings,
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew.
And, while silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Mods....I wasn't sure where to put this thread.

If you think it should be in "General Comments/Aviation Humour," please move it.

1) The Air Canada Scope Clause
2) A collection of rants by Cat Driver about Transport Canada
3) A "blue paper" licence
4) A $55 bill for licence renewal fee
5) A print copy of the AIP Canada

A copy of the correspondence from the collection agency that TC turns your unpaid $55.00 medical " fees " over to.

Just so they can marvel at how client friendly TCCA was back then.

[Donald]

A copy of a training bond?

Documentation of the pay-for-PPC scheme?

A collection of rants by Hedley starting with: "No one here will remember this, but..."

And ending with him posting a pic of a large boat.

[Invertago]

Forget Cat's rants... stuff him in the capsule. Part of aviation history, and he'll be piss raving mad when they finally open it up and let him out lol.

Something written from 748Ho, that guy is legendary!!!

[Captain CADORS]

A ten pound David Clark 13.10 headset (hope it won't put the time capsule over gross weight)

[Meatservo]

An astrocompass, with almanac

A deed to a house in Bay D'Urfe owned by a trans Canada Airways pilot

A float pump

A rope with a bowline knot

Some serious and not so serious:

A piston engine
A GA Plane - Both should be gone in a 100 years
A few gallons of stabilized 100LL for the above so you can have the only lead pollution source
A GPS - I am sure there will be something better by then
Some steam gages
A VHF com
Mode C transponder
121.5 ELT
A complete collection of Charts - I have an entire set of IFR from the previous cycle
A peace of a canvass from a Norsman
A full weather brief from the day put it in the ground
Some sort of copy of the planes Flight Aware is tracking

Do not put anything on CD/DVD or any other electronic format unless you include the necessary hardware to read said format that is going to last 100 years in the ground. BTW DVD-R/CD-R have a shelf life of about 10 years. Something to think about.

A Herman Nelson.

[Siddley Hawker]

A copy of From The Ground Up.
A copy of Fate Is The Hunter.

Ahhh I wonder how many pilots here have flown an approach using that method?
