RIP Al.

Does anyone have info would be appreciated.e have contact with him? Have not heard anything about him. Last I heard he was Flying 747 freight about 7 years ago. Any info will be appreciated.
Thanks.

After 40 years in the aviation business I used Ray Ban Ambermatics for at least 30 of those years after trying out at least 50 different kinds. Unfortunately they quit producing them a few years back, I still don't know why because they adjusted to every condition including those in "flat light" and...

The aircraft C-GIPW is rumoured to have flown it's first flight from Boeing Field in Everett directly to Blatchford field where PWA took delivery. It was flown in PWA livery then Canadian Airlines colours and finally in Air Canada (Tango or Jazz maybe) livery. It had achieved a very high cycle time ...

Tom,

Where is this being held? Maybe a bit more info might help.

Cheers

I flew with Ray many times when I was still with TC in Winnipeg. He was always a joy to work with.

This is a loss of a great guy who always had a caring outlook whatever your choice of aviation was.

I rarely post here anymore now that I have retired but this subject kind of rusts my nuts. In my 40 years of aviation, getting multi-engine time was just a small step to gaining experience in the real world of aviation. The same as true for going from piston power to turbine. It's all those small st...

That Weston guy is seriously biased and sure does not know the true story. We used the 550's probably 95% of the time for operational inspection and trying to remain current. Most of the time the Inspectors were expected to remain current on type when allocated 48 hours of flying time per year. That...

Thanks Lee.

V1 only applies to FAR 25 or CAR 525 aircraft because they are published numbers in the approved Aircraft Flight Manual. So does Vr and Vse. If the AFM doesn't list those numbers it's all up to you. CAR 703 aircraft and a few CAR 704 do not typically have the manufacturer apply those numbers unless ...

An all round bad day.

aerodude states that it's about the quality of the hours and then goes on to mention that c-152 time seems to be somehow less valuable than FO time on a larger more complex aircraft. Let me opine that it's not the platform that is being flown (regardless of the size), but the fact that the Captain i...

I posted this quite a while ago, but it seems to bear repeating. Sorry about the long post but it sums up my life experience and observations in my 40 years in aviation. At first a lot of new aspiring pilots, like most normal folk, look to take the path to the top that has least resistance. It shoul...

aviator 2010, It's obvious to me that you are not a pilot nor anyone involved in the aviation business. Your blatant attack on me shows that you are some kind of apparently greedy real estate developer that's more interested in a quick profit than in preserving some of Edmonton's history. Are you on...

Here is a link regarding an attempt to stop the closure of the Muni (Blatchford) Field airport. It would be a travesty of justice if the mayor and his developer buddies shut down the gem of Edmonton City Centre Airport for their short sighted vision for the future. I suggest you join if you care abo...

That's one of the best application jobs, best money and one of the best guys you can work for on the Canadian prairies. Ya gotta have the mind, stamina and basic foot and rudder skills to go along with it though. If ya don't know what something as simple as Malathion is, well maybe just go work the ...

My fondestes (if that's a word) memories is to watch some some idiot with an idiot brain-set go ahead and just run an intersection that has a red light camera. I love it. They keep paying tickets and I get to keep my property taxes down. Please don't speed. If you disagree - speed away - and may you...

Holy crap Cat. You lucky bugger. You met a legend. He was one of my hero's when I started with the "Company" in 1981. Heinz was one of my all time favourite guys in TC. I'll never forget the day when Heinz sat with a bunch of us TC types in about 1998 or so and said "IF Toronto wants it let's vote n...
