Winnipeg Aviation

Just want to show my appreciation to Winnipeg Aviation and their CFI. they came through for me in a pinch, and bring a community atmosphere to their operation I feared was disappearing in the industry.
If you're in ywg, look them up!

Thanks again! :lol:

Re: sporty's e6-b

unfortunately that's the type of response I thought I'd get, flaming just to flame, not very helpful. I was, however, hoping I'd get a few of the other type of responses.

sporty's e6-b

hi everyone,

Would anyone in the winnipeg area be willing to lend a sporty's electronic e6-b for a week? I've fallen out of currency and need to re-right the INRAT! It would be a big help!

Thanks!
