Humphrey's Pilot Shop still carries his name.

Brampton Flying Club's 75th anniversary

This came by way of email, from the Brampton Flying Club. With all the crap news lately, I thought I would share something positive. It's no small accomplishment, what BFC has built. Caledon, ON – July 14, 2021 - The Brampton Flying Club has reached an important milestone in its history: 75 years an...

Re: Aerobatics training (Vancouver)

Give a shout to BigPistonsForever I think.

If he's not offering it, I'd bet he knows someone who is.

Re: Porter receiving E195-E2?

You should use your Googlefu and look up City Express if you really want to know who put life back into CYTZ. Ooh, this is interesting. Before my time really - I was coming of age (12) when City Express shut down in 1991, so I don't recall them. And everything I can find on them is basically the sa...

Re: Porter receiving E195-E2?

Why would anyone do that? Who would connect between Pearson and the island when you can fly WestJet or Air Canada for the same price? You’ve obviously never flown Porter before, their service and experience is far far far superior. I have flown Porter. I'd like to hear why you believe Porter has fa...

Re: Am I still failing to decode GFA?

It's just so wrong either way... One of the answers is about current conditions, whereas you're looking at a forecast. And the other answer refers to a single arrow, and there are three arrows on the chart (although the frontal arrow can be disregarded). So, which arrow are they referring to with B?...

Re: Aerobatics Training

As much as I disagree with digits, perhaps I can offer a counterpoint. I've recently been flying wingovers. Is that an aerobatic maneuver? If I just kick over the rudder in a stall (in a light single piston), that's spin practice. If I do it a bit more gently, now it's a wingover. If I don't kick th...

Re: Sky-high housing prices causing psychological harm

If CNN, FOX NEWS, CBC are to be considered, it's no shock we have zero respect for journalists. 90% of media outlets have a bias in their reporting. Also a lot of journalists / editors are too lazy to do their homework and end up writing some pretty absurd things. I've experienced it first hand... ...
