I find this very difficult to comprehend. How could any flying machine get that close to the center of the US government in DC. Is this not the most protected airspace on the planet? I can imagine that there would be a lot of unscrupulous organizations looking closely at this gong show.

What a great post ..... lots of good thoughts to consider. The US Navy has successfully demonstrated that they can remotely fly an F-47 off and back on to an aircraft carrier. With that kind of technology available today, pilotless aircraft are certainly possible and probable in the foreseeable futu...

Don't forget the grand daddy of all airplane songs ..... the Beaver Ballad!

I found this add on AvCanada ...... Executive Flight Centre (EFC) has been setting standards in aviation fuel and service for over forty years. Headquartered in Calgary, with operations in both Alberta and British Columbia, EFC offers a diverse range of aviation services to meet the needs of airport...

Happy trails Captain ....

This one of the best posts that I have personally seen on AVCANADA. Well done fellow aviators. I believe that COMMON SENSE can be taught to most people. It is not easy and you cannot accomplish this task in a few hours with a book and a few kind words. It starts with hanging around airports and talk...

This has to be one of the dumbest posts that I have seen on Avcanada for quite some time. Personally ..... I think some dumb ass with a lot of time on his/her hands is still laughing about all comments from the shit storm that was created. This should be put in the same category as Rob Ford. Why are...

Perfect ....what a great poem for Christmas!

I worked for Steve for about 10 years. Like many other pilots I had some issues with him, but in the bigger scheme of things ....he made us all better pilots and much wiser people. His standards were very high ..... he demanded the best and always managed to achieve that standard. He was a very know...

Rest in Peace Eddie ..... You were one of the Good ole Boys in aviation. Fair winds, blue skies and Happy Landings ....

Is it just me ....or has this post gone sideways? I enjoy talking about safety issues and how to improve the odds of survivability in the event of an accident. BUT.... when I hear pilots saying that they would wear their life jackets when flying over water, and wear their cold water emmersion suits ...

Living proof that all pilots yearn to sing! I really enjoyed this one Moose ....thanks for posting it!

Well said! I know it was a tough call ..... but it was one that was needed to be made! I will support your decision, as I am sure the majority of others will also.
Onwards and upwards .....

This is a story about a guy who worked on the ramp for Air Canada at YVR. He drove the "honey wagon". He developed a very serious rash around his mouth. At the urging of his fellow ramp workers he went to his Doctor. "My god!" said the Doctor, "where did you get that rash?" Well Sir, I drive the "ho...

I believe that my flight was the last commercial flight of CF-PAT. I would love to take my grandson to YYC to see old PAT again.

OUT OF FUEL I am wading into this discussion to shed some light on a very serious topic. I have run out of fuel twice, two events that I am not proud of, but it did happen. I would like to share the events with you to, hopefully prevent anyone else from being put in this uncomfortable and potentiall...

I guess this is why I really enjoy AVCANADA so much ...... With all of the serious issues on the horizon in Canada, we end up arguing about the colours of our Government aircraft and the Canadian flag. Now it just doesn't get any better than that!

:rolleyes: this is Avcanada at its finest. No problem calling others out under the cover of anonymity, but would never have the balls to say it to their face. Well said Jack ...... I used to fly a Grumman Mallard and I used to take off from Ocean Falls, down wind all the time in the winter outflows...

Well ...... I certainly hope he takes the other JUSTIN with him ..... especially if it is a one way trip!
