The HANDLE not the man. Today marks the last shift for "Unable Due Traffic". After 25 years of telling pilots where to go, I am retiring (and the handle is retiring too). To colleagues, who know me here, I have enjoyed working with you. To my pilot friends and fellow posters, I hope we will cross pa...

From my perspective, I would have to vote for Moncton. I was there on a visit a couple of months ago and have to say that I would move out there to work at a drop of a hat. There are a great bunch of gays and gals working there. The working relationship between the controllers and management seem to...

Don't hold it in...... You can't resist....... You must rant on NavCan.....

There is no fabric left on it, and I didn't get close enough to see if there is a data plate on it.

There is a Norseman at Custom Helicopters in YAV. It showed up this fall and is in need of alot of TLC to get it airworthy again.

Snow goose....what is the number that worked.....???? I am moving and need it...
Thanks

I hear you Doc..... cancelling makes my job a hell of a lot easier too.

18. It was in '72 and I had a good summer job (driving a gravel truck) so I could afford the $700 that the ppl cost.
I went to Con College for the CPL and graduated in '79. ( CLGUY was in my class).

I concur.....

It took about 6 years of part time work to put the Murphy kit together. That is all of the sheet metal work, the panel wiring, engine install, plumbing, rigging, etc. I know of a chap who built one in 1.5 years but he was retired and worked on it daily. I needed about 3000 hours to put it all togeth...

Perhaps the mode C on Condor should have "failed" for a few minutes.

Cat.... TOO FUNNY!

Jim Franklin and Bobby Younkin. Very sad occurence.

Cat, Don't paint us all with the same brush...... and don't put the blame solely onto Navcan. Transport Canada enforcement HAS, in the past, written up and FINED an ACC shift manager for "using his discretion" in not reporting a blown altitude (pilot called and apologized for his action and no risk ...

Very good.
So you did know that SKQ was going to India. Or did you?
Why sound off like the rest of us know SFA?

Has anyone here ever flown IFR without a functionning transponder? Is this something that controllers frown upon? Comments?? If it breaks in the air or if you have to get to a place to fix it you can fly without it. Prior approval is required for the later. I don't frown upon it, shite happens. It ...

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See this is an obvious example of WHERE THE HECK DO YOU GUYS HEAR THIS STUFF!!!!!!!! I think of anything concerning Skyward I have heard maybe 2 or 3 right things. but yeah India eh :smt023 So.... what are the "right things" that you have heard? And "The 1900D going to India is ...

Doc,
The Ladies that are in control of the airspace that you usually fly in ARE VERY HOT!!! You keep that fact in mind when reading back a clearence from one of them.... and TRY not to mess up......... the clearence that is.

It was sold to a commuter airline in India, I think.

I have built a Murphy Elite. Tail dragger, O-360, constant speed prop,murphy 1800's are on the table being built.
