Well the background is a bit of a hint!

Matt,

Congrats. I don't know when you forget your first solo but I can tell you that it's more than 25 years!

You said there was a picture....

The Frisbee got bigger and bigger and bigger, and then it hit me...

DR, I didn't mean to imply that you didn't understand the words Mr Bush was actually speaking. Rather, I agree with you that he's not doing this, or anything else, out of the goodness of his heart and therefore we can assume he's after something. Or then again, maybe he's after everything! My point ...

I have a friend who is thinking of going to Air Vietnam. Anybody know anything about their Airbus operations? Things to watch for or watch out for? I understand they have a 4 in, 2 out schedule. Anyone confirm how this works with respect to travel days, jumpseat home etc? PM with e-mail address and ...

You're thinking about soft wood but he's talking about water! The US has had their eye on diverting Canadian water, including that in the Great Lakes, to the American midwest for quite some time. Canada has an absolute hold on exporting any water that isn't in a container! I'm also thinking that you...

Or shall we wait and have a crew party at the Carnivour when it's done?

So, it's Chez Oubad's for spaghetti then?

Hey Cat, great idea. I know just how we'll do it too. We get an ex-RCAF Caribou and load her to the gunwales with ammo, grenades and other nasty stuff, then we fly off the coast skirting everyones airspace and low under the RADAR. We just have to make that one stop for fuel in Djibouti! Wait, wait, ...

An excellent example and one close to home as well. Unfortunately, I do not doubt the truth in what you say. YTZ is an absolute jewel yet the city spends more money to prevent a bridge than it would have taken to build one! Incredible! Do you know how much money London England spent trying to keep a...

This stuff never ceases to amaze me! Small towns and developing cities are dying to get airports because they constantly have to deal with people who would love to open a business there but, without an airport, it's just too hard to get in and out quickly. Then, once the airport is surrounded by the...

Listen to Wally.

Let me get this straight; you're saying the system does work now?

Haz,

Now that was quick! Any chance you know where I can find the same thing for a C180? How about a Canadian version?

Not only turbine but multi as well!

A nice little tip of the hat to old 315 but lacking a bit in the accuracy department. 315 passed 45,000 hours quite a while ago, the CAF has 32 Hercs and 5 Airbus A310s and 315 is the world's high time military C130. L100s and 382s that have to earn their keep with a commercial operation get a lot m...

Flapless, I'm not sure why you care at this point. Knowing whether or not it was rebuilt isn't going to make anything better now! But, if you really need to know, pull the cylinder head. That's the part where the spark plug threads into the engine. There will be a ring of bolts holding the cylinder ...

$300/hr for a 180 on floats in Yellowknife? Are you kidding? Grab it! I had to get my rating on a 180 for my insurance coverage and I was lucky enough to find one near me for $285/hr. This was in southern Ontario and this was a couple of years ago. I thought it was a bit steep until I got my rating ...

I was reading a story today about a group of enthusiasts who revisited the Barilko crash site this spring. I have always wanted to at least fly over it and have a look. Does anybody have the co-ordinates or know who may have them? PM please or there won't be anything left to see!
