She was a good friend and a humble, talented and extremely keen aviator. Sad that our paths will not be crossing again to share stories.
Service in Nanaimo on Saturday.

I don't see the company I work for there and I am fine with that. Best kept secret.

Saw this depart YVR today

http://www.faa.gov/data_research/research/med_humanfacs/oamtechreports/1990s/media/am92-24.pdf Alcohol production post humously is common, though not guaranteed. Totally conceivable the two would have separate readings. It is extremely difficult to get an accurate alcohol reading after they have spe...

I wouldn't go jumping to any conclusions yet. It's not uncommon in cases where bodies have been difficult to extract to find unusually high blood alcohol levels. Natural occurring blood sugars actually ferment in the body. In the past there have been many cases where alcohol has formed post-mortem. ...

I'm surprised nobody has brought up the Air Egypt accident a few years back. Very similar, except there were two crew in the cockpit. The Captain trying to recover while the FO shut off the engines and sabotaged the controls. Having another person in the cockpit only makes it slightly more difficult.

Rather than penalize you for being a pilot, they recognize you get annual physicals. I've been with them for years now.

Yes, flying sucks. I would love to have a break from it...especially if I get to slug freight and clean toilets! :roll: Nobody owes you a flying job. Take what works for you. Me, I love flying with well rounded people who work hard. I've flown with all types, but these are the ones you want to hang...

Google maps doesn't give a lot of resolution but I see lots of surviveable terrain.

I flew the medevac contract with Borek before Keewatin took it over out of Iqaluit. My two years up there my T4's both were over $70,000. I have since gone on to better things.

Seeing what Keewatin is paying for the same job, ouch.

Good luck guys.

Is word out yet whether or not this will be a year round service or are they just coming in for the high season?

You can usually tell a genuine review from a sales pitch.

EIther way, I'm happy to see another pilot app on the market.

when you start the engines in full fine, the FCU is at the idle stop, but at feather, the FCU is at the min flow stop HUH? :shock: Please explain that one! Stick to your guns co-joe. I think I'm with you. It's been awhile since I've looked at it, but I remember something about Py air being dumped a...

Just copy and paste it to google search. Gives you the answer.

You have to go wake up the guy who invited the bar home. Yeah, we're talking about you Chris.

What are you flying? I find 30 fps (frames per second) is the same as 1800 frames per minute. A prop adjusted to 1800 rpm tends to appear stationary. Depending on what you fly, with a little trial and error you may be able to shoot between blades. And yes, I clicked on this because of the title. App...

I like it.

Expanding on #4 above. The airplane is a tool, learn to use it properly, stay current. You not only don't want to kill yourself in it, you don't want to kill the pilot who uses it after you.

Don't instruct for too long.

Weather Flying, by Robert Buck. Written by an experienced pilot, looking at weather from a pilot's perspective. Not too hard of a read either.

As a community we are sorry to hear about your loss. 51 is far too young.

Good to hear from you shitdisturber. How's your wife and my kids?

I heard the pilots posted a sign on the entrance
"you've never been lost, 'til you've been lost at Mach 3"

I for one, feel the national anthem is not sexist enough. From the country that brought you Pamela Anderson, we can be a little more racy.

This thread is not what I thought it was. It sounded like the name of a great cocktail.

Hit Costco and pick up a large box of Fruitsource bars, the ones with vegetable servings. And some protein bars. Not only does eating in restaurants cost alot, it is hell on the waistline.
