The Arrow was sold last year. Good aircraft, quite enjoyed flying her.

Forum wasn't the same without you, .. Welcome back.

I bought one in June and love it. Even inside my house I can get satellite reception. The battery will hold a charge for approx 3 hours, but I use the cigarette lighter in the plane or car when I use it. The only negative I have is that if you want to charge it with a USB charger, you have to take t...

ROFLMAO!!!! Next! Maybe more mouthwash!!!

Why that's preposterous. Obviously Truthteller and Marhamresident are the same person according to biz jets and others. You have it all wrong. :smt040 You seem smarter than all the others. I would caution you to look at the discussions here and have your common sense guide you. Are you really going...

You either don't fly or don't know where Richmond Hill is. Loop and circuit, whatever dude is that the best you got? You are a waste of bandwidth.... if you don't know the difference between a loop and a circuit, you should leave this board and go back to your colouring book. I certainly do fly and...

Buttonville isn't going to close for a couple of years at least. You can certainly start and complete your training in that amount of time. If you start at YKZ and it closes, you can go to Toronto Island (Billy Bishop), Brampton, Oshawa or Lake Simcoe Regional (Barrie area). There are plenty of oth...

I'm interested in getting pilots licence, but reading this forum I'm wondering where to go. I live in Unionville so Buttonville makes sense, but now since it is closing I was thinking Markham????? Can anyone tell me what would happen if I start at Buttonville and then it closes? Buttonville isn't g...

As to the right handed loop off 15, you guys have proven my point. The standard left loop was changed to a right loop for noise abatement to protect the Markham residents. Meanwhile all they do is fly over Richmond Hill and move the problem. This is why I'm saying and you're just confirming that Ma...

Now Truthteller/MarkhamResident, you've got Sidney's brother (bcrosby) involved! Now you're in trouble!

Respond to this...why doesn't ckyz allow a standard left handed circuit flying out southbound smart ass. If your planes didn't make noise Markham would have no issue letting them fly over their residents. Instead Buttonville sends them the other way. Yeah, yeah we know TC handles this but when you ...

A well adjusted individual would look at the points made and respond directly to them, trying to keep your opinions civil and well thought out. We have for the most part, however your misinformed responses continue to baffle us - especially about how wonderful Markham airport is... Maybe the most d...

I'm suggesting to AvCanada mods that your posts be removed - and you be either kicked off these boards or at the least suspended. As for your slanderous statements on Buttonville, it's owners, and their operations - are definitely worthy of a defamation of character lawsuit - which unfortunately ma...

MarkhamResident gives Markham area taxpayers a bad rep...

BTW I remember doing my IFR at Buttonville many years ago and seeing a farm house picture posted on the bulletin board across from the TAL flight desk, with notification about a noise complaint, when I asked about it I was told it is to let us know where to do our practice emergency landings. Then ...

Buddy, your a funny guy!!! Word on the street!!, is your neither a pilot or aircraft owner. I call BS!! See ya . . . +1 Further, by his promoting Markham Airport, he's probably a part owner looking to be the next Derek Sifton (actually he's just a wannabe) Also, MarkhamResident's rant after the unf...

Sounds to me that MarkhamResident was probably refused a job by the Sifton's and this is his way of getting back at them. Pretty sad indeed. Just to add fuel to the fire... how many major companies relocated their offices nearby Buttonville in order to access the airport for their private aircraft? ...

Hedley, You've given some very good information. Thanks. One question though, and this I found confusing during my night training. The definition of night is 1/2 hr after sunset. It was at this point that we were told to start the aircraft engine in order to be in true night conditions and have T/O ...

Niss,

I took a look at the Google Map and it's just at the end of Anne St. A lot of housing in that area. I would think that a housing developer would like to buy up that parcel of land and plant houses there for the Toronto commuters. At 3.5 mill, not a lot of money for a lot of housing.

I just did a google search and found that the Springwater Airpark (CNA3) in Barrie is for sale. Asking price 3.5 mill. http://www.forsaleforlease.ca/listing.php?id=6357 Another ready for redevelopment? Options in the GTA are getting less and less for GA. Is there no stopping the downward spiral? :(

My deepest condolences for your loss, ..

I have learned a lot from you on this forum and do miss your posts and invaluable knowledge. You and your family are in my thoughts. God Bless.

I was flying for my $100 hamburger run on Saturday, when my wife asked me what happened to Canadian GA aircraft in the air on the day of the attack. I thought about it a while and wondered if pilots returned to their airport of origin or simply diverted to the nearest airport and made arrangements t...

There was a time when we had Maple, King City and Buttonville, Markham, Toronto Island and Brampton. They eliminated Maple and King City for development purposes. Now we have the owners of Buttonville having a pi$$ing match in order to get more federal dollars to assist with general maintenance of t...

Niss, I've flown a Warrior II - 151 and 161, Archer and Arrow out of YKZ. One of the first things I was told by my instructor was as BPF said if you bounce - go around. This has saved my bacon on more than one occasion. I've been in a situation where I 'floated' for an exorbitant amount of time and ...
