Kind of like the “howl” of the 320 landing lights! https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/mobile/garneau-asks-air-canada-to-hush-noisy-jets-1.3739867

From the ad on LinkedIn, I’m surprised they don’t have an age restriction for a DEC. Most overseas carriers have that caveat, or would that be considered age discrimination in Canada.

Definitely Saba…

Anybody want a fixer up’er?? …tug/mooring/island not included. Key words in listing……”1913” and “aground”. https://www.boatdealers.ca/boats-for-sale/457375/1913-106-x-21-historic-houseboat-project-boat-rockport-ontario

As the political heat builds up on the overdue replacement of Canadas front line fighter aircraft, how long will it be before it is pointed out that our woke, feminist, virtue signalling prime minister was 11 YEARS OLD when the deliveries started on the F 18!!!

A preliminary report has been released and raises concerns about the FAA part “rules” the a/c was being operated and I assume, maintained under. The on site inspection of the aircraft indicated the elevators could not be moved….skip to the 11 min mark on the link.

From an unofficial source……..looking like a flight control problem. Source reports that as a/c accelerated down runway, at Vr, control inputs were applied and aircraft did not rotate! Reject carried out and went off the paved portion……reverse thrust was used, but buckets stowed when a/c stopped “out of habit”.

Gee…if I was a decision maker of a company that was trying to decide where to locate…..would I want this type of scrutiny of the management?? What would the critics say if Tesla or Google wanted to locate in Quebec?? Would they demand the same standard?

More info ….. Not specific if it was down for Mtc….but wow, that a long time for an a/c to sit!! And then go flying with pax on board…imo.

Who says trickle down economics don’t work?? Too bad the jobs are involved in the construction of this monster are in the Netherlands…… https://www.businessinsider.com/jeff-bezos-superyacht-photos-video-2021-10

I thought all dc9/md 80 ac had leading edge devices.

A step back in time…..a ship built 5 years before the Titanic, preserved! The last of her kind in the world….and it is Toronto’s backyard (for now). https://sskeewatin.com/ Lots of interior pictures in associated sites.

Not a lot of runway ….. 6100’……I thought the trust reversers would be deployed unless stowing them is part of evac drill. I had a look on Google Earth, and there were 2 MD 80 series of jets on the ramp.

I listened to Safety Minister Blair (doofus) try to explain why negative PCR tests are still required for double vaccinated Canadians returning to Canada when the postitvety rate is .2%.... POINT 2%. (he even corrected the interviewer who said it was .5%). he said it was about keeping Canadians safe and following the science.....no word about the science or effects from 1000"s of truckdrivers which cross every day, with no testing or requirements for vaccine!!!!

Not sure why they wouldn’t see a 320 on the runway ahead of them unless…..

Here’s a true WTF moment….what a waste! https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/stearman-crashes-after-highway-takeoff/?MailingID=723&utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Drone+Detection+App%2C+Virgin+Ungrounded&utm_campaign=Drone+Detection+App%2C+Virgin+Ungrounded-Monday%2C+October+4%2C+2021

From the tv show Jeopardy: Clue…..What US city had a painted “Welcome to Cleveland” sign on a building roof near the airport, as a joke for passengers? Answer….. Milwaukee http://archive.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/15-minutes-of-fame-for-welcome-to-cleveland-sign-lasts-37-years-b99627742z1-360471381.html

I’ve lost track of operators out of YOW……are there any charter operators that would fly across the border to OGS or ART?? Similar to what Great Lakes Helicopter is doing out of YSN to get snowbirds across the border. Back in the day, the Brockville Flying Club an Smiths Falls FC (I think) had a charter license. I know Brockville isn’t active, not sure about Smiths Falls.

I wonder how long it will be before we have more airframes in museums around the country, than we have aircraft that are operational in the airforce? Trenton, for example.

And for those looking forward to Florida this winter, let’s hope this is a temporary blip: https://www.tampabay.com/news/health/2021/08/24/covid-19-is-pushing-tampa-bay-ambulance-service-to-its-limits-and-beyond/?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_medium=social&utm_content=FBtimes&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR3w4bkwwUKtR6Q9fy1NustSAoRTPp2tPBAuqkMZU18JFugH0fhTtQEPkl8

Translation———- “ I thought you closed the door!”

I am amazed at the attitude of passengers lately…..the airline HAS to transport me, the airline HAS to depart on time, the airline HAS to seat us together……. I watched a Toronto morning show and the two hosts were condemning some poor sob who paid extra for a seat with more legroom, because he wouldn’t move to accommodate a late boarding family of SIX….so….you can read between the lines….cheap seats with no boarding priority wanting to move a higher fare passenger. I was shocked that no one had the POV that if the family wanted to sit together, then they could have PAID for advance seat selection so they could be together.
