CYCO!
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.

Re: One year of being an owner
Thanks.
Have you ever noticed how things (and people!) look better in a photo than "in person"?
Shiny - are you flying one of the caribou survey 'planes that have been here for a few days?
Here's what I counted at YCO last Friday (5th) morning, all on the ramp at the same time:
one A-Star
one C206
two C208
one PC-6
one Piper Malibu (I think)
one King Air
one Twin Otter
one 737
one ATR-72
plus my two makes 12. Pretty busy little airport, for a while at least.

Yup, the only silly piston plane of the bunch. Was a neat trip, hadn't been to YCO before.

I don't know, it looked pretty sweet to me when you flew over me at 500' just south of the falls a couple of years agoNunavutPA-12 wrote:Thanks.

I'm not a big fan of pics

Women and planes have alot in common
Both are expensive, loud, and noisy.
However, when handled properly both respond well and provide great pleasure

BTW, them look like some pretty sweet skis you have on that. How do you like them?

Re: One year of being an owner
They are Datum wheel-skis, made in Quebec. Experimental only, but they work very well, at least after I did some "tweaking' of the cables. Also I'll have to cut a bit off the bottoms this summer as there's not enough clearance to the tires. The electric screw-jack system makes them much easier to change over than hydraulic skis, and you save the weight of the pump and hoses.Shiny Side Up wrote:BTW, them look like some pretty sweet skis you have on that.
