Too many trees there? I'll concede the difference between bush and back country. Carry on.

Now we can start this thread! I had a pretty long similar discussion when I first started here years ago. I was confusing and intermingling stalling a wing with a wing not going fast enough to produce enough lift. A bigger plane has more wing surface which equals more lift. It also equals more drag ...

That's not true. If he can afford to buy a bush plane he can fly it with a PPL. Check out Trent Palmer and his buddies. They build and fly bush planes, most of them are private pilots. They are in the United States but as long as you have the money or credit you could do that here in the great white...

Horse sense?

Good to see.

The math and physics required is not very high level. It would make things easier if you did well in math and physics but you won't need to take any math or physics courses. You will only need to learn how to calculate things like how much fuel you need to get a certain distance with the wind affect...

Um? Why are people fighting? Name calling because of a miss spell?

Your a bunch ov krabz.

Nice. Also, a few years ago I returned to YBW for some dual. Even after doing it a few times I was still a bit uncomfortable switching from tower to outer tower to Calgary VFR to practice area frequency then the same in reverse order just to go do a bit of upper air practice. Four hours in I was a b...

Someone needs to buy me a T-28. I'll go do a touch and go every chance I get.

Place should be a ghost town soon enough.

But waiting for twenty minutes because you are number 6 for take off and there are planes landing at a busy airport, is after the chocks have been pulled and you taxied to position. I'm not saying a school should let me sit there for free but I feel like that is potentially adding hours to anyone th...

Sorry.

Fair enough and hopefully the program there is still good.

Obviously in my fantasy I can afford staff to mow the lawn on my strip.
How's it going C-GKNT? I hope you and the family are doing well.

I'm imagining owning an airstrip. Seems nice in my head. It might as well be on a nice island while I'm at it.

Poor fence. What did it ever do to you pilots that made you want to harm it?

Excellent post. Basically it looks like I need a girl friend (boy friend? Modern times it's not nice to be picky about gender) that likes long walks?

Preferably around 25 with an airplane.

What happened to criminology? Do that and get your fancy flying license at a less expensive school and you're golden.

AirCanada doesn't care what degree you have. It could be in anything.

Maybe because people start flying before they have a radio license, then they build hours being number 6 for take off, getting used to controllers, flying in traffic etc.

Things are a bit different compared to the good old days, learning nordo off a big grass circle.

Unless it's very quiet, expect terminal to take the easy way out and take you way North or way South. I can fly right over the top of LAX in Class B airspace but heaven forbid I try to transit YYC's Class C! (I know controllers are trying their best, it's the system that's broken) I laughed. It's s...

I flew in to DC national airport back when you could do that in a Warrior II. It was fun. I got barked at for messing up my read back. Controller who doesn't mess around after that guy landed a light single on the national mall in front of the White House but before 9/11 said in a firm voice, "That'...

Thirty years so far...


To be honest, I might not be as focused as some of do you know that the Westrn Pizza restaurant in Golden right on the number one highway is really good?

I'm about eleven maturity wise. That doesn't prevent me from holding a PPL though.

Seven years later, I'm still riding a couch more than my poor abandoned Kona I used to ride often last century. I never even went to Sideshow Bob or got ahold of FlightSolutions whose location says Vancouver now.

You're welcome.

By the way that was supposed to say, "mine has always been mild so far."

I get it in my knuckles occasionally.

Fair enough it's working but I don't need a Doctor to prescribe things until we stumble on one that works.

How are you doing 3G?
