With all due respect, when you start out to fly with the 703 rules (300 ' and more than two miles) and the destination is also three miles, what are you going to do when you are just inside the YVR control zone and the vis and the ceiling goes below special VFR? Especially when the battery of the GP...

Sky,

How do you feel about that? Do you think this will bring stability for Israel and/or the Palestinians? Have you been to Israel?

Porky, a.k.a. O.J. Wieben of Superior Airways hired me as potential Beech 18 driver in 1978. (The old big yellow carrot treatment!) When I got to "Wiebenville" I was made the airport manager, read swamper. There were no rampies, only the last three hulks of previously immaculate DC-3's parked in the...

As a 400 hour wonder thirty years ago, I flew one day from Vancouver to Penticton in a Cessna 172 to...

They trained more lying greenhorns (hours on floats) than anybody that I know of. I worked for them back in 1978...

Young Gary Richards at Tofino Air used to run a very decent operation. He even bought breakfast for every one. The best part was that he loved to play chess between flights. I learned a lot from him. I might add that I had about 12 000 hrs on floats by then.

I ran the Pipestone River, N.W. Ontario rapids, with the 1957 KPF in 1978. The next day the T/O area was frozen. The Indians used a birch bark canoe as an ice breaker while I heated up the oil pan of the Continental engine with the help of a rusted out tin can stove that was lying on the shore. I ro...

[quote="Idriveplane"]I made 1500/month first year dockhanding/ Keep doing what you are doing. I think you'll make it in this chosen field of yours! And maybe you'll be able to buy a house in Vancouver when you are fifty years old. Because I am still renting with my $ 225.- a day job as a Beaver driv...
