I kind of like the booklet. By the way this thread was going I was beginning to think I was the only one. I always felt a bit silly showing people my pilot licence that looked less official than a student driving permit. Now I show people the new one next to the old one and I can say "That's what t...

Very cool video by the way!

Like this:

Where it says "https" in the video url remove the "S" and it will embed normally using the Youtube tags in the post editor.

Hope it turns out to be a non event.

I had hoped so also, but that's looking less likely now.

The following was posted on the YXS - Prince George Airport Facebook page this morning: We were notified around 8:00 this morning that a cargo courier flight was overdue. Prince George Airport Emergency Services are on standby. We will continue to provide updates as they take place. 250 News is repo...

This was posted on Harbour Air's Facebook page: Thank you everyone for your concern and interest in the safety of our passengers and crew. A Harbour Air seaplane bound from Victoria harbour to South Vancouver made a precautionary landing near the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal at approximately 0930. All ...

You might try Darren Adam. He did the pre-purchase and first annual on my Cherokee last year and he came highly recommended. He's based in Courtenay, but is mobile and does work all over the lower mainland and on the island. I found him to be easy to deal with, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced, ...

I flew that route (and a bit more) last summer. You can find my trip report here: http://www.avcanada.ca/forums2/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=98404&hilit=3000nm Why stop in North Bend when McMinnville is right there? Do you hate aviation? :mrgreen: Take an extra day and tour the Evergreen museum (bring your...

edit: Perhaps I should read the preceding posts more closely.

An aviation blog? Covering aviation!? Amazing!!

The spamming is not appreciated, I left the blog as soon as I saw the JetsGo parody pic. Ancient history for a blog about aviation news.

Everything gets humped. Doesn't matter what the box says.

Not many places left where you can hump though.

If it were me I would have the article framed!

When I was at the SARSCENE national search and rescue conference in Chilliwack in 2013 I had a good chat with the people who sell this technology: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbrTPZM5xv4 I saw some real potential there in the search and rescue application, and I think it would work great for find...

I think that this forum, with the collective knowledge and passion that reside here, could definitely serve as the catalyst for an organization that does what COPA has failed to do. The challenge is getting the right people to step up, to generate momentum and keep it moving. I think it's an excelle...

Easy access to some really beautiful corners of the world from there!

Thanks, that is definitely true. This was all shot within about 45 minutes (by Cherokee) of CYXS.

Flying in the winter can be a lot of work and a massive pain, but the rewards are spectacular!



It's so much better in HD

There is nothing new under the sun when it comes to pilot shops. The template is well worn, and for good reason. You can look over the websites of Calgary Pilot Supply, Aviation World, VIP, and the pilot supply section of Aircraft Spruce and find largely the same things. I'm not terribly creative bu...

has anyone else bought a light aircraft recently? I know there's tons of aircraft owners on here but it seems most have owned them and kept them maintained for some time now, not just purchased one recently, im starting to think were running out of 60's/70's aircraft worth buying. They are out ther...

I received this from COPA today: British Columbia airport under threat of closing: Save Osoyoos Airport "Since 2011, Osoyoos Town Council, the Mayor and town staff have been meeting regularly with several members of the business community (who later formed the Osoyoos Airport Development Society) to...

Tailwheel training is on my short list of aviation related things to do. I'll likely never own a taildragger (being very happy with my Cherokee), but I would love to have the skills that go along with being able to fly one. When I was doing my license a friend of mine offered me his lovely 140 to us...
