Re: Dreamliner Flightaware pattern!

Hey SULAKO, why did you lock the thread where this topic was first posted and a conversation already started and point everyone to the thread that was started after it and contains no posts? Friend of yours? Pretty assholish move if you ask me. This thread has much better information posted inline. ...

Re: Aircraft at CYKZ with wing extensions?

What is the Ident of the aircraft? Most likely Airliners.net would have a picture of the actual plane. Look up Triaxial Gradiometer, that might be the role for this aircraft.

Are you getting paid to fly these guests and supplies to and from this resort? Even if it's just for the fuel costs, it's commercial.

Re: Cut your hands up?

I did that. I was working on a model and a drop of glue shot into my eye. My buddy rushed me to the hospital, where they stuck a suction-cup-like doohickey to my eyeball and attached it to a bag of saline. This flushed it out. Then they stained my eye to see here the crystallised glue had hacked it...

Re: Looking to charter a plane

Shrug, I'm just going with the rental rate at my local flying club which is actually $227 an hour for the plane and pilot. Then I used my flight planner to determine the time enroute, 3.1 hours one way, given the particular weather conditions at that time. Rather than plan the flight back, I just go...

Re: Looking to charter a plane

You're looking at roughly 7 hours round trip with a Cessna 172, then another 7 for the pilot to come back and get you. 14 hours at about $200.00/hr, $2800.00 for the three of you. I based your departure from St. Jean which seems to be a reasonably close drive from Montreal but not a major airport. T...

Re: Help me out with this picture...

Kind of blurry for a pro to have taken that picture. Professional photographers actually use focus to subconsciously "focus" the attention of the viewer to the area of the photograph to where it is desired without detracting from the remaining content of the picture. It's actually quite well done, ...

How a Glock 22 got on board a flight to Toronto

When a call comes to the newsroom about guns on a plane…you pay attention. In this case it seemed hard to believe. Aaron Haight, a licensed owner of a Glock 22 and Baby Eagle 941, had no business boarding with his firearms and he knew it. What he couldn't figure out was why everyone else seemed to t...

Re: Saskatchewan Air Ambulance Requirements

That's a combined total of all the pilots that were working air amb at the time that webpage was last updated. The Cheyenne hasn't been a part of the fleet for years and I believe that webpage was written sometime around the turn of the millenium. Heck, CAATS became CAMATA about the mid 90s?
