Real eye opener to see them all in one place. Not even all, really, lots more than that.

it is really - and I couldn't help but start reading through the list and going "oh yes, I remember them...." etc. A real pocketful of memories....

heck would anyone ever remember Roots Air if it weren't on a list of defunct Canadian airlines - it lasted what? 5 minutes?

Burrard Air.

Ah the days when the Islander was the airline and of course, "morning, morning, morning."

Then there was Ed Green in dispatch. I still laugh when I think of him saying, "it's time we fire you pablum pukers and hired some real pilots" or "the keys are in the bus."

Flying is better than walking. Walking is better than running. Running is better than crawling. All of these however, are better than extraction by a Med-Evac, even if this is technically a form of flying.
