Consider rolling over and going back to sleep for a few more hours before you tap out another one of your incomprehensible posts.

And just where might the nearest 15 be?

Whitby has a squadron of FA-18 Growlers. Ya think we should have maybe given them a call, mooyack.

Down for maintenance?

The flight to YVR was 40 minutes.

The nearest 18's are in Cold Lake. Call out, ground crew pre-flight, Pilot pre-flight, start sequence, taxi, launch and flight time to Vancouver.

You want full afterburner with those fries ya mooyack.

It's my understanding that the FO was pilot flying and the captain was pilot monitoring.

Make of that what you will but my mind is made up about who actioned the fuel control switches from run to cutoff and who returned them back to run.

It would appear that pdw has stepped up his game to an even higher level of WTF.

Why would any competent ME pilot allow their airspeed to get anywhere near, much less below VMC in the first place?

I'll clarify my post. The intent was to list the immediate action items to respond to an EFATO. I see now that the thread was referring to the Addison, TX crash where the precipitating cause was suspected to be the uncommanded roll-back of the left engine, also at take-off, followed by the pilot thr...

Not quite.

Control, Power, Drag, Identify, Verify, Feather.

For the record, your picture is the Hawaii Mars, now on permanent display at YYJ.

The components in my sandwich are peanut butter and strawberry/rhubarb jam. Jelly is not an option.

Your word-salad skills continue to improve.

I'll bite.

Was it the wind? Was the wind the trigger?

rookiepilot: Please stop.

cdnavater: pdw's posts, though nonsensical, are most entertaining.

That answers a few questions.

Have you considered applying to the TSB?

Perhaps they could better understand the unusual language you tap away in.

This is not about assigning blame. That is up to the TSB and NTSB.

TSB and NTSB do not assign blame. They investigate to determine probable cause and all other contributing factors.

‘sunlight whiteout’

Signal next time before changing lanes like that, okay pdw?

I also read an article saying vacation flights were being cancelled.

Seems a convenient way to position some of fleet down south then bring back the stranded folks on the back haul, no?

Curious if they are flown by contract pilots. My understanding was that any aircraft operated by or in support of the RCMP had to be piloted by Air Service Members.

Curious if they are being flown by contract pilots. I believe aircraft operating in support of the RCMP must have a regular service member at the controls.

Went with what I read on AVweb and evidently they got it wrong.

I read "low and over in PSP" then "for the museum".

Pima Air and Space is 340 miles from Palm Springs then it's 150 back to Lake Pleasent.

Not doubting what you saw on FR24 but a 500-mile scenic on dodgy engines?

Avweb reported that the fly-past over San Diego was scrubbed and she went direct to Lake Pleasent northwest of Phoenix where it will eventually be hauled out, partially disassembled and trucked to Pima Air and Space. No mention of a jolly over Palm Springs.

Familiar with most of the Maricopa County airports when I based at Wiliams Gateway for a couple of winters in '95/'96.

Not familiar with the "weird-ways-to-crash" handbook for Scottsdale. Must have been published after I left
