Yes Doc a 748 will legally pull 10000 pounds off a 3500 strip according to the charts, not at 46500. You know this this, you flew them for like 5 years!! Quit drinking man its hurting your brain.

No Cat, I didn't work for Austins, one of the other two mentioned. Though I'm sure Jack Austin will spin in his grave if he heard Hawkers being replaced by DC3s. I hear you that the DC3 is a great versatile airplane, if I could I'd buy one just for fun. The kid that posted this topic though said he ...

Why would anyone want to put a 748 on skis? I'm sure it is possible. A 737 could probably go on skis. I'm not trying to disrespect DC3s here, they're 2 different airplanes. A DC3 will never pull 10000 pounds off a 3500 foot strip. I don't think landing on snow and unprepared strips was what Hawkers ...

I'm sure the DC3 is a great airplane, it certainly has withstood the test of time, and the Turbo must be all that better. I think however it falls short as a real replacement for the aging 748s. Hawkers, especially with a large freight door can carry 12000+ of freight, put a roller floor in it and a...

I actually saw him in a TV documentary about SkyLink and Burrard Air, the documentary culminated with the crash in Terrace B.C. . I was wondering where he disappeared to.

Hope when I die I'm not remembered as the airline guy who's negligence killed people.

It is a Tupolev 204. Looks just like a 757, except it has winglets. It even has Western engines. Boy those Russians are original. NOT!

They even have an Airbus 300 ripoff.

Fellow nerdmasters guide me with your wisdom! I bored silly, I need some good websites to check out. I've pulled my wire to the same ones for to long. So if you could please lay on me some cool sites. Preferrably not porn ( never thought I'd say that!) but some funny shit. Thanks nerds. You can resu...

First of all "Cat" this company didn't charge anything. The individual paid freely, or that is my assumption. . As for companies having pilots pay for a PPC look across the border. The majors down there do it. Than have the audacity to pay less than minimum wage. Ever read "Stupid White Men"? by Mic...

Oh boy am I gonna get it for this one. But why woudn't a company, especially a small potatoes company hire someone who pays for his/her own PPC. You'd have to be a business school drop out not to. Let me get this straight, you imbeciles think said company should have turned this individual down and ...

Got my accent from the mean streets of Wunnumin. Drives the ladies wild. I give a little "Eeeeeeh", play some "Chapman Sainnawap Overdrive" then up comes the skirt, down comes the track pants. Oh yeah.

I like "It's Raining Men". I always hum it when I'm flying in weather.
