Re: The Fixed Wing Search and Rescue Saga Continues....

Canada needs SAR and Coast Guard assets much more than we need stealthy (allegedly) go fast, planes. We need to show the flag at the extremes of the country more than spending billions on assets which have little more use than playing second or third fiddle in a war started by somebody else.

Oh yeah, 39.6%. The rest voted for someone else. It is a quirk of our electoral system that got them the maj...

Re: Does a good headset matter?

Has anybody tried the Headsets Inc ANR conversion kit? It seems like an easy conversion for anyone who knows which end of a soldering iron to hold.

Re: Alaska Wing Men.

I hate the drama for drama's sake we're getting on all of these northern pilot shows. I understand the 'need' for conflict but the phony danger takes away from the very real dangers. For example; that guy flying diesel into the gold camp in a Turbo Otter. Gee...where's the camp? Well, I guess I coul...
