Re: Misfueling close call
Airports frequently visited by helicopters and aircraft with turbine conversions are danger spots. Turbo otters, beavers, etc. all have the standard avgas fuel openings, and don't fit the Jet A duck bill nozzles. Perhaps that should be part of the conversions, being a pain in the arse for a few con...

Re: Looking for some information Baie Comeau
Thanks folks. Luckily for me I'm bilingual so communication isn't going to be an issue
Sept-Isles is unfortunately past where we need to be. We'll be doing some local work in the Baie Comeau area. If the weather turns to crap though and I need to get the plane in a barn, we'll keep that in mind.

I know Right? Dirty commoners thinking they can leave their boroughs. Someone should teach them their place.It just further propagates the notion flying is more and more like a bus and less and less a privileged service.

I've worked with Chris, he's a great guy. Humble, easy to just shoot the S@#t with. Hand him a rag and he has no problem helping wiping down the aircraft. Real class act.

Re: Stickies aren’t going to get you employees.
I started out at 10.50 an hour, took 5 years and 2 other jobs for me to get 15.00. For the longest time as a licensed AME with several signing authorities I was making 24.00 an hour.

Shit, for the kind of money they are talking about I should quit maintaining aircraft and apply to do airport maintenance.

Re: First big airshow of the season Apr 30
For me, 2012 was their last good show, and not because that was the last one I worked. Most of the fighters were flying, there were a fair amount of visiting acts, and the crowds were huge.

Re: First big airshow of the season Apr 30
I was thinking of making an appearance for the Gatineau show (haven't been to one since 2012), but now not so much. With a relatively short list of performing aircraft, most of which I've seen fly many times, the french team were the only draw. They've been hyped up so much I was expecting something...

Good to know. I got to see the Italians when I was a kid and they put on a pretty good show. I enjoy the show the Blues put-on.
