Got it.

I had similar problem sending you a PM.

the cool one

FYI I am a rare poster on AvCanada but drop by for pleasure reading quite frequently. I enjoy, most of all, the professional information and exchanges between knowledgeable professional pilots and others. IMO this type of sensationalistic postings by pelmet is counter productive to the health and su...

CID Re: So...Air Canada is my preferred domestic and international carrier. I agree! Every now and then some people on this forum will find joy in poking fun at our major Canadian airline. Let it be! I spent time in London and specifically at the various airport hotel for convenience when I had an e...

Just read the news a few minutes ago. This is a relatively new, long delayed development military purpose aircraft. I watched this aircraft perform at the Orly airport during the airshow. It was an unbelievably maneuverable/agile aircraft for a transport type category. No news of anyone surviving th...

Does anybody know if the pilot name initial was K.S. I ask because I know him from way back when. I heard he has a 180 on floats somewhere in NW Ont.

Thank you

stay cool

PM me if that is your preference

As predicted by scientists monitoring this volcanic development just a few hours ago the volcano has breached the surface. There is a nice glow now and it should get much, much bigger in the next few hours and days. Here is a live webcam site if you are interested to watch its development: http://ww...

Airspace closed around the predicted breach of the volcano.

Official reporting of a small eruption started a few minutes ago under 500 meters of ice.

Standby for the big show.

[quote="Charles the Equestrian"]Doesn't the prospect of paying for a particular product and getting an inferior one without choice cause you some degree of trepidation?

I see that the authorities have approved a limited flight testing now. They must have found a way to control thermal runaways or a way to keep the batteries cool. Regardless its great news for Boeing and all airlines who have their fleet grounded. Anyone has pictures of the lined B787 on the ramp at...

Thanks Chris; That's what I was looking for. From the article it seem that experts in the field of batteries design are on the same line of thinking as I am. The last paragraph pretty much sum it up. The engineer who designed this battery went to quite a length and process to deliver this light weig...

Thank you all for your contribution to my question. I was looking more at an answer from a deeper technical point of view. In short, it appear that these type of batteries are lighter weight, better performance but have a fatal flaw. They are prone to have a thermal runaway or easily short circuited...

Good Day all; I read this article and was not impressed. http://lithium-ion.weebly.com/ I am not familiar with this type of batteries other than to know that they are "high performance" type and relatively light in weight. Did Boeing engineering knew about this type of problems and did they design t...

How poetic he was!

Out of an air disaster rise the history of a life lived to its fullness. A life lived with high principles, morals and standard. An example for all of us to follow.

My condolences to all the families.

God Bless, Bob.

Not my fight but since I am an infrequent visitor here I enjoy the various subjects discussed. I cannot believe the amount of "yanking your chain" goes on in this tread and others. Rookie seem to think of himself as an army of one. He is able to rattle the cage to no end. And there seem lots of fish...

Martin; It is generally accepted knowledge that WJ pilots are a little better than most other Canadian pilots. Based on that fact it stand to reason that they do Barbados turns. After all they are not just pilots.......unlike you they are also owners. Sorry WJ pilots. After a bombardment of tv ads l...

Thanks guys;

Your information is much appreciated.

Stay safe

Hello; I am a newby on this forum. I hold a lapsed pilot licence. Once a pilot always a pilot! :lol: I didn't see any search window to see if a similar tread was started elsewhere. If there is another similar tread going please feel free to delete this posting and tranfer my question there. I am int...

For what its worth..... I travel extensively on many airlines. All have some good-some bad points. I think most people posting here have some prejudicial intentions before they post their opinion. WestJet seem to be the darling of the low cost in Canada. Yet I know some employees are leaving that co...
