ZCT??? I think Skywings in Red Deer has that plane right now.

My first real flight was when I was in Beaver's in one of Mr. Borek's Twin Otters. C-GNTA (I think) with the then Chief Pilot of Borek.

Anyone know if that picture is still up at Borek?

Whoops, ZCT was really close to one of the Dash 8's we had down in Haiti. ZTC was the Dash 8 we had down in Haiti. Think I might have mixed it up with that.

Although I do believe that Sky Wings had a 152 called ZCP. Either way, that was a long time ago.

Are you kidding, it was probably something really cool, that required you to use your feet and probably made a better pilot:

And only because it is expected of me:

Was it an Otto Lilienthal Flyer?

But good question, I am seriously interested in hearing his response.

Do tell Mr. Cat.

I'm pretty sure I was conceived on an AC 727....

I wish I had the picture online of my father in uniform holding me after a flight with him at 6 months...

First plane I held the controls was a buck eighty five on floats at age 7

Then FKKE a murphy rebel in 2002

My official training started on a 152.. GZBB out of CZBB
