For what it’s worth I have an assault charge and I’ve held a RAIC for almost 10 years. I’ve also travel to the USA a few times.

I grew up in Pickle Lake and my parents lived close to Pete’s house. One thing that needs to be pointed out is how Pete every year on Canada Day (or Blackfly festival to us Pickle Lakers) would offer free rides to all the kids. He’d be doing circuits all day in the Otter and Beaver. It was the highl...

Used to be when you took a job in a northern community, you moved there to live. Not blow all your wages running back to Toronto every two weeks to live in your parents basement. It’s not forever, you’ll make friends for life and have some interesting stories to tell the hipsters back in the big sca...

I suspect passengers are not the main reason for this aircraft. If it was it would be retractable, pressurized and have more horsepower. It seems great for places like Northwestern Ontario, drop off freight and run a couple of side trips with passengers or just combi loads. Work it hard with multipl...

Someone needs to invent some sort of reverse T tail so it could actually be de-iced up north with limited facilities.

I have an assault charge and I have a RAIC flying in the 703 world. But I sure am curious if the airlines or even the 704/705 is closed to me.

Not going to be surprised if they recreate this scene in the next Mission Impossible or similar action movie in the next few years.

Anyone know what kind of aircraft they'd use to drop something like that?

The super cargo master does not have an inside door handle. They come from the factory without one exactly for the reason of cargo shifting and either locking the door closed or opening it in flight. Had shifting cargo lock the door on me once and thank Glob there was the air stair to get at the han...

World of AI is a free program to install real world airlines into flight simulator. Just download the installer and pick the airlines you want to add. There should be instructions on the website. Great program to have and very easy to use to make the simulator world a little more "real".

Hey North Shore and frozen Solid, Was that working for Jen and Andy in CYPL? I think I was working the ramp back then in Pickle at that time. PM me

Wish I could have made it but I had to perform my own airshow of flying the Tubine Otter to a lake and picking up garbage on Sunday

Rebuild the C-46 with PW123 or PW150 engines. Lighten it up with whatever new tech you can put in without getting off of the original type certificate, slap a nice glass cockpit in her and start hauling freight till ya pass out. I'll make a million!. Say, what ever happened to the turbo Caribou idea...

Take a look around the airport and see how many pilots use David Clarks, got to tell you somthing. There are other good headsets around but you just can't go wrong with the DC 13.4. Unless your flying some radial engined airplane save your money, you don't really need an ANR headset right away. Just...

Wow Dave, add a few more chapter and publish a book, you could make a lot more scratch! Hope things are going well up north for you. would like to hear from some people who shut down and coast into the dock and what there veiws on it are. A friend always said that the Caravan on floats was not a bus...

Is it a case of the gear not lowering below the airplane, or the airplane not raising above the gear?

I wish the Caravan had counter-rotating propellers, or wait the Pilatus, or wait, the Turbine Otter. Yeah that would look bad ass!

I might be wrong but is Sad and Queer in the Sault museum?

Crazy to sit in the front of the ST-27, 19 seat turboprop with a cockpit smaller than a Cessna 150

Stop sucking up Superdave. What, are you trying to get a job on PEN, ha ha. We all miss you, even me

Head on to http://www.avsim.com or http://www.flightsim.com and search for anything you want
Avsim has a good Polish Otter on amphibs also a Texas Turbine Otter

EDR does kick ass, But it's too heavy to tow around

I work with the brother of a guy who works there I think.

Remy will flip if he smells this chicken!
