One of my students invited me to come with him to OshKosh.
Fuel, camping and entrance fees paid by him.
couldn't say no.

I was in the CZ when they called up. "Simulated" ELT/SAR exercise at a grass strip just east of the field. They were homing in on the simulated ELT signal. The flightcrew described that they were going to be flying by the field, low level <2000ASL for an inspection, dropping message bundles and then...

So I was taxiing a 172 from our hanger out to the flightline this morning and as I started to move, this incredible stench reached my nostrils! I started looking around inside the plane to see what it could be. After I took the plane back to the hanger, I searched through the plane, assuming that it...

From a email list I subscribe to: GGN2100 C550 landing from TEB went off the end of RW33L at 1650hrs approximately....two pilots and two passengers on board....all OK. Currently all traffic on RW33R until further notice......tow crew on the way to tow the C550 off the grass back to Landmark Aviation...

How about the Fuel Truck slalom - a timed event.
A course is setup down the ramp with various aircraft.
The aircraft start small and then become bigger as the course continues.
Bonus points to fuel each plane as you go by.

The rumour was that they were looking at Brantford or Welland to base the airplane(s) at.

Hi All, I'm running a commercial ground school and for some weight and balance exercises I want to use a King-Air 100. I have a training manual for the aircraft but I don't have an empty wt & moment to use. Does anyone have one in their fleet that they could check the numbers for me? many thanks, MC

we have a 702/703 and an FTU. For our flight time calculations, TC wants to see all flying that you have done. Whether it is 406(training) 702 or 703, it must ALL go on the record. Previously we were just keeping track of 702/3 flying. I guess the idea is that if you did training all day than did a ...

I also agree that Harv's Air website is a bit overwhelming at first.
Alot of information on the first page.

I'm 1 for 0.
A student brought in a medium D:D for me, and I won a coffee!

The balloon event occurred about 6-7 years back.
At the time they did have a human observer.

Although it would look kinda cool to see a robot arm let go a balloon as part of the AWOS

They were based out of Brantford - CYFD, down at the other end of the field where I work. 2 DC-3's are still falling apart outside. G-DOG & G-GKE If you want some DC-3 airframes and a bunch (11?) engines. This is the place to come for them. When they were flying, they flew quite a bit. Usually a fli...

anytime I see an odd remark I call up FSS and ask the briefer what they think it is. Usually they take a poll from everyone and come up with something.

Interesting one I found out of Waterloo - CYKF was

RMK BLN DSPRD 400AGL

Supposedly the helium balloon that they used disappeared at 400 AGL

This happens often during the summer time.
Maybe too many people called in sick or "sick" today and they are short staffed.

Best one for me was in the circuit in a 172...

Carb Heat - Push In
Mixture - Pull Out

WOAH

The engine sputters!
we both push the mixture rich.

He'll never confuse the carb heat and the mixture again

The crash was at Brantford, CYFD, not Brampton. My boss was away for the day, making me Acting Airport Manager. I was sitting beside the UNICOM radio, I had just finished my lunch. The radio blurted out a Mayday call. I turned to the window, looked up and saw the aircraft bank to the right and then ...

Same thing happened in Brantford in an Aztec with 2 TC folks. 4" frm tips on both props were bent 70-80 degrees back. The plane sure sounded funny as it was on the overshoot, alot of noise and not much speed. Of course it had to happen on Friday the 13th at about 3pm. Stupid things always happen lat...

Port Huron is a good/easy place to clear customs. It is open 24/7 give them a heads up that you are on your way. Why not do the whole flight at night too!? I flew that route CYFD to KPHN to KPWK Palwaukee just north of O'Hare. Nice little airport. Turbines EVERYWHERE. KingAirs to G5's :D The North A...
