Re: World's Shortest Scheduled Flight

Nice, I use to think it was Fort-Albany to Kasachewan, but that's more like 5 NM trip across the river.

Re: Long term weather forcast

You can also try this one, goes up to 5 days based on the GEM-REG (up to 24hrs) Then GEM-GLB (25 to 120hrs)
You can play with all the function, but in short click ANIMATE.

Re: Ottawa to end strike

Pension going to Arbitration, is there a precedent in the past on DBP pensions going to Arbitration ???
If not it will be a very stressful time for all unionized workers like myself.
This could be the precedent for the Pilot Group.
