Re: Nicknames?

siddley were you refering to the Argosys that Transair had? I flew with that a/c in the arctic out of resolute bay, as a grunt. Roscoe was one of the enginers on it, on one of my tours for a whooping 350.00 @month. I can not remember who the other engineers or pilots were. Had fun though.

ame renewal

My license is coming up for renewal and I tried to find out what forms etc. are required on the TC site but was bowled over by the monumental amount of crap that had nothing to do with my search. Anyone got something to help me to show the simplest way. sammy

Re: Sick and Questionable, F-11 Husky CF-SAQ

There's a Husky sitting in St. Andrews in the big long red hanger .I think it may belong to the Winnipeg Museum The wings are off it and are crated but the fuselage stands there waiting to be restored, I assume. Good to see it's not gone to the wreckers.

Re: Gear UP scenario Questions

What if it"s a cessna 150 on your first solo? Might as well do a few loops and slow barrel rolls and then hands off and call the flight school on your cell phone and ask for your money back.

Never ran with the bulls...but I did run with the hippos of Pickle Lake..I made the mistake of telling some rather plump maiden to shut the @#$% up.The whole bar of Hippos rose as one and I headed for the door.When i looked back it was a stampede of hippos with one thing on their minds,and it was no...

Re: Dirty cops in Winnipeg

I agree with a lot that LH has to say, and I also know him as having worked with him in the aviation time. In regards to the SOB...My opinion is that in any crash resulting in a fatality there must be a blood sample taken as soon as possible.If your not boiled than what do you have to lose.
