Re: Edmonton 40 story hi rise---- city centre airport??

I assume you are talking about the Stantec tower, which will be 3.8m taller than the now under construction Brookfield Place tower in YYC.

Re: Air Canada Rouge to Begin Toronto Direct to Honolulu

Has there been any mention of the YYC-OGG/HNL winter ops changing to Rouge?

Re: Ice Pilots Started

saw Electra show last night. Nice job the crew did. I believe the pilot first flying made a good choice to let the more experience person do the landing. Did they repair that aircraft or was it written off for parts Did Ray retire after ? He seemed to be another very good person who had years of fl...

Cut the mixture/power and glide into them? Try and stall into them? They seem to have a fairly high survival rate as long a...

Re: Fairly intense small plane crash from inside; everyone l

Sure looked like the plane really didn't like being out of ground effect, he would get it up there and she would just keep settling.
