Thankfully the boys walked away again. Its so difficult to pack properly for these Basler recoveries. Skidoo, boat, chainsaw... which one to take???

Saw this on youtube - very cool!

Well, this is a game-changer...

Well, is there anyone on this site old enough to know how Frank operates??? Not over gross? You have to be kidding me! Cat, you alluded to it but were trying to be polite I assume. Don't know what happened however, to suggest that the aircraft was not over gross is, well, you haven't been around mu...

How do we go about nominating someone... or a few someones?

PC-12 :wink: (And not Northstar or Cargo North Either) I believe Kelner has one PC12 in YQT that's available for charter. Not sure if it's theirs or managed for a client. Wasaya has bigger problems than one PC12 doing some charters out of YQT. Wait till that good 'ol polar vortex affect on the wint...

Any truth to the rumour that there was another round of layoffs today? Any one particular department affected?

Very cool. Seems to be seconds away from a stroke at any given moment.

Isn't that just a normal Porter landing?

1) speed
2) size
3) performance

I could even see staying in the plane (like the PC12 example above) if it wasn't sinking.... But this guy had to be told twice to get out because it WAS sinking. And his first call wasn't even for help?

I don't know, maybe it's just me... But if your plane is sinking in a river, isn't your first reaction to GET THE F--k OUT????

The DC3 that was in Thunder Bay a few weeks ago was Basler's. It was up there for training. Cargo North's machine is supposed to arrive this week and sounds like it will be at the pilatus centre.

http://www.tbnewswatch.com/news/146658/Wasaya-Group,-First-Nations-jump-into-helicopter-business Hmmm this guy seems to have a great plan moving forward, he just needs to crawl into bed with Discovery Air and Exchange Income Corporation and he will have the entire market covered. Does anybody else ...

I know Potter and I'm glad he as been given a chance to speak. One of the worst things about this whole situation is the good people that Mazza took down with him... Rick is definitely one of those people. In my opinion, Potter should have been (and still) running Ornge. OK... Go ahead, throw your s...

Have you asked your employer to explain their reasoning for it?

Just one more reason for Canadian travellers to hate Air Canada. Kudos!

Mr. Klees... Do you not realize that probably every aircraft you or your family have ever flown on has safety related airworthiness directives issued for it at one time or another? In another story you're quoted as saying you will not fly on these helicopters, even if you are sick... that you would ...

Whats the dimensions of the hangar?

But there's still the issue of the AW139 tail rotor and tail boom failures that all 139 operators are dealing with. That has to be a factor with the potential to bring some S76s back on line too.

Another important piece of info I would like everyone here to have. Back in that time period of aviation we had a very good working relationship with T.C. and some of our best friends were T.C. Inspectors who not only did our check rides they were our mentors. The industry is suffering now because ...

$100 says Mazza sues the province for wrongful dismissal, yada yada yada, and wins a crap-load.
