haha, thats Osoyoos, my home airport.

I guess the dragsters aren't the only ones who use it.

Haha, some of those might be my skidmarks!

A couple more from last week.

Shitty camera, but a few shots from my first season as a swamper in NWO.

Too bad they paved it, it used to be a fun gravel strip...

Sure beats the ferry.

CYWH pictures eh?

Hey jspitfire,

What kind of exposure and shutter speed settings are you using when taking northern lights shots....im guessing negative exposure, high ISO and slow shutter speeds? Great shots!!



heres a couple from my road trip.... 6mp point and shoot then modified with i photo

Some great shots guys! I've been busy recently with my new (free) scanner! Heres some stuff dug out of my fathers and grandfathers photo albums!!













Not quite sure who this chap is.. but I believe thats a sask. gov machine? Anyone know?







Thats me on the 185 float. IIRC its a tindi machine and somewhere relatively close to YZF. Any ideas??



Also anyone with info on where this machine/company ended up?? same goes for the rest. I'm pretty sure after chatting with Neil Aird that beaver EZT was crashed and is awaiting rebuild..

Seriously, a skidoo! I love the North.

I use a Canon Rebel, which is pretty much pushed to its limits for northern lights. ISO 800 or 1600, usually at least 30 seconds, and wide open aperture. A Tripod is of course a must as well.

A few from one of my new offices - a venerable Bell 204B in this instance. Doing some recurrent bucket training up on Stave Lake out of Langely.

Pretty nice, can I come for a ride?

Keep your eyes open..lots of Conair training going on at Stave and Harrison Lakes through to the end of the month !!

Indeed,

We spoke to a number of them today. Combined with the fleet of Bell 47's from Chinook Helicopters, and the two Highland machines training up there, it's quite the high density airspace these days..!

We're even lower than the Conair boys and girls, so it's usually not a problem

An interesting/uncommon sight in Iqaluit today.



Many apologies for the "rippliness" in the photo, it happens to be a exhaust out of the back of a B732.

Do you know Rowdy if thats Jack Mcpherson in the pic with BHS?

First time posting pics, hope they work.

Day of fixing the ol 185 on the lake.

The guy in the pic is very familiar to a few guys around here but no one can remember his name. It is for sure old Sask Gov colours though as it's a similar paint scheme as my Navajo.

Ignore the dirty gear doors. They were in need of a good scrubbing when I snapped this.

Having fun.

My Tripoo last month. Last fly-in on the ice this year! ***sob***

Here's a few of mine (in no particular order)

few from last week
