I am wondering, if an aircraft can still fly/reach nearest airport/land in case of one engine failure on a small twin engine piston aircraft with no more than 3-4 people on board. What are chances of survivals? for example - Beechcraft Baron series aircrafts. I googled and found articles only about...

Have you visited Steiner's SeaBee page (http://www.seabee.info/seabee.htm)? Here's what he has for N6729K (http://www.seabee.info/rc3_1017.htm).

From a pilots' point of view, the MAX should have been a clean sheet design. It should have been a baby 787 incorporating the advances from that plane to this generation. Boeing did have plans for a clean-sheet narrow body design to replace the 737NG and 757. Cost overruns and millions of dollars i...

Admins, please delete if you feel this is not the place for this and I apologize in advance if it is. But I wanted to share an experience I was witness to while flying through Red Deer at about 1830Z yesterday. As most in Alberta know, the radio work that instructors sign off as adequate for solo o...

Mr. Google Google doesn't answer everything. The best I can find is that Kenn Borek bought Kenting for its northern operation (formerly Atlas Aviation), primarily with DC-3s in the mid-1970s. That's where dhc#'s DC-3 crash comes into play. Kenting used to have all sorts of survey airplanes (Canso, ...

Can anyone here shed some light on Kenting Aviation and its activities in the late 1970s and 80s. I believe it disappeared around 1986.

Cheers,
Trevor

It wouldn't be CF-YQG would it?

It's been a few years since I wandered the ramp at Penhold. They've increased security since then, requiring someone to escort you around.

I have no time in that Husky, or any other, but I'd really like to see some of those log pages for a writing project of mine.

Can you please email me at: photomctavish__at___hotmail.com.

Cheers,

Because changing seats on a 100+ airplane fleet can run into millions of dollars, and there are other programs and projects that have higher priority right now. New seats will come, it'll just take time.

The spec sheet on the Susi Air webpage calls it an "AT802 Fuel Hauler."

http://susiair.com/air-tractor

I suspect they copied and pasted their general description for the 802 from Wikipedia.

You're used to seeing the retardant tank for firefighting. That Air Tractor has a larger one for hauling fuel.

I didn't know any Mosquitos still flew. Unreal.[/quote]

There are three of them now in Virginia, Vancouver and Everett.

I did my night rating last year at the Calgary Flying Club. There's lots of planes to choose from, but they're all long-in-the-tooth 172s.

I just so happen to work with the pilot's son, so I trust this story. Apparently the Rapide had been all loaded up when the flight was cancelled due to weather. The next morning, he did an expedited inspection, then took off without checking the fuel tanks. During the night, someone had helped thems...

PM sent.

Was anyone on the forum connected with La Ronge Aviation during the late 1960s and early 1970s?

Can anyone help me find Paul Hajduk ? A webpage indicated that he'd been doing some airshow work but the email is no longer working and the phone number xxx-xxx-0005 isn't working either. The best I have is that he used to be in Richmond, but there's no one in the phone book (does anyone use those?)...

I've heard they purchased a surplus oilfield camp (re: ATCO trailers), but I don't know if they've been relocated to Medicine Hat yet. I'd suggest giving Super T a call or email and ask. They'll certainly answer your questions and maybe suggest some local attractions for your son's off-time. http://...

I once traveled quite a distance for the opportunity to flew a rather rare airplane. It had been raining that morning, but the clouds were breaking up when we got to the farm strip outside Montreal where the plane was kept. Along the way we stopped and filled a 10 gallon jerry-can with gas, then dum...

See Larry Milberry's latest book, the CAE Story. Why would it be in there? Because CAE purchased Northwest Industries.

There was certainly no love lost between those two ladies. And Marilyn had a big boxer dog that liked to lick the styling gel off the pilot's (my grandfather's) hair. I checked with my father, and I was mistaken. The pins were sold to anyone who wanted one, right up until the end in 1965. In my orig...

Chinook Flying Service Ltd. was formed in September 1945 by my grandfather, Franz McTavish. After serving five years in the RCAF, he used his discharge cheque to buy a Tiger Moth and rent an office in Calgary's passenger terminal. His partner at this time was fellow instructor Bill McRitchie, who bo...

I have a set of Weaver AC30 aircraft jacks, but I've been unable to find any type of maintenance, service or parts manuals. Apparently these were standard-issue RCAF equipment, so I would assume something did exist (at least at one time).

Can anyone help?

How many of those can still be made airworthy? - How deep are your pockets and how determined are you to have an obsolete F-28? If they can't why haven't they been donated to schools, museums or sadly scrapped? - WestJet donated 737-200s to SAIT and BCIT, and Royal/Canada 3000 did the same in Gander...
