Coming off another type, probably still getting used to eye to wheel height, but an attempt at flaring would have been a start.

but everything changed when safer supply programs began operating in the city in early 2020.
These programs hand out large numbers of 8mg hydromorphone pills (roughly 10 to 30 per day) to severely addicted drug users under the assumption that this will dissuade them from consuming potentially tainted illicit substances.
However, as hydromorphone is generally not powerful enough to get fentanyl users high, recipients frequently sell (“divert”) their safer supply on the black market to purchase fentanyl. This floods surrounding communities with diverted hydromorphone, which causes the drug’s street price to collapse and fuels new addictions .
Concerns about safer supply were recently outlined in an open letter to Ya’ara Saks, the federal minister of mental health and addictions, from 17 Canadian addiction experts. Diverted hydromorphone has been “flooding our streets,” leading to rising addiction, the letter stated. “We are regularly seeing and hearing in our practices that diverted hydromorphone is causing harm to both adults and children.”
The addiction specialists are calling upon the government to either supervise the consumption of safer supply hydromorphone or cancel the programs altogether.
Mark’s experiences were consistent with these physicians’ observations, and with reports from over 25 other addiction experts I have interviewed in the past year.
and this is how we got to the present situation ….. theory meets reality:

Looks real to me….but somebody forgot to turn the strobes on.

A couple of things about the latest dumpster fire with AC…..and the media is loathe to tell all the story……was the crew just trying to comply with Transport Canada rules…..the a/c wasn’t exactly a wide body, a Q400 I believe…what was the load? Could the headdress stay in an empty seat? But what gets lost in the story….
Quote10 hours ago, Airband said:The pilot came out and brought the case back after she complained, she said.
So somebody recognized that there was a problem developing around the situation and corrected the problem…..but all you hear in the press and national newscasts is the headdress being taken.

Not being widely reported in Canadian media but ……. Internationally they must be laughing at us….who says crime doesn’t pay? Do you really think these guys will honour their “promise to appear”?

The five people arrested and charged in Canada were released on bail, police said, while the individual arrested in the United States remains in custody. Warrants have been issued for three others in Canada, police added.https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/04/18/gold-heist-toronto-airport-canada-arrests/
QuoteFive of the suspects were arrested in Canada and released on bail pending trial, police said. One additional suspect, originally from Brampton, Ontario, was arrested in the state of Pennsylvania after being discovered with dozens of illegal firearms. That person remains in custody in the United States.

The plane was based at the Brampton Flight Centre, which is owned and operated by the Brampton Flying Club, said its general manager, Allan Paige. He could not say whether the plane took off from there, however, as the airport is uncontrolled and does not have flight records.
The Canadian Civil Aircraft Register shows the aircraft was registered to a numbered company as of last July. The business is registered to an address in Vaughan, Ont., according to provincial business records.

Maybe I missed something previously but this caught my eye…..not an indication of a strong Air Force:
QuoteCanada will now be sending up to seven Canadian students each year to ENJJPT, when the NATO Flying Training in Canada will come to an end. CT-155 Hawk aircraft training at 15 Wing Moose Jaw, Sask. ceased already in Summer 2023 and will now end entirely on 8 March 2024 when 419 squadron will stand down.

I have commented recently on the increasing number of accidents involving pilots that may have been relying on technology or just a lack of experience…..here is another accident which raises some questions:
Does anybody know of a Piper Lance … CFBWH?

“
The flight originated in Ontario — specifically Milton, according to reports — and made stops along the way that were likely to gas up, including in Erie, Pa., and Mount Sterling, Ky., McCarter said. Before the pilot radioed in the emergency, the plane had been on a normal flight track with no mechanical irregularities reported while it flew in from the Kentucky airport, McCarter added.

I commented a couple of weeks ago my concern about over reliance on technology and a lack of basic skills……here is another sad accident involving a perfectly good airplane:

Still doesn’t answer why the guy didn’t accept vectors for the ils….you know,.. old school.

I can’t help but think that inexperience and reliance on technology is becoming a major factor in GA accidents in the states… Here is an example:

When I was working, I was always curious the cost to deice an aircraft in the CDF…..never did find out the answer, as it was not to be a deterrent to get deiced….for “just a little frost” for example. It was also rumoured the deice crews were paid throughout the summer to keep them available and trained for the winter.
Does anybody have info to share? Let’s say the cost for an A330, type I & IV.
The GTAA lists a facility charge of $2.41/1000 kg but I’m sure that is just the start of charges.

What are you expecting Kip? Is it the age of the aircraft your concerned with?

Some of the messages/emails look genuine……we just got a text for payment of outstanding charges for the 407etr (toll highway in Toronto) and looking for immediate pay to avoid further penalties….hhhmm … but we haven’t been on the 407 in about 4 years……a couple of things we noticed as suspicious…the phone number was a yul area code instead of yz..the charges were xx.xx$ instead of the normal convention $xx.xx and the kicker was the payment link was etr407 instead of 407etr….
fwiw….

What once was a thriving Boeing operation in a small Ontario town is shutting down…victim of lower cost operations in Mexico….tough times and a blow to the local economy…
Quote- Boeing Vertol Helicopters, Arnprior Division, from 1954 to 2005 was a repair and overhaul facility for Boeing Helicopters used by the Canadian Forces and commercial operators. It was a Department of National Defence facility originally purchased by Vertol Helicopters prior to merging with Boeing. The site is now home to Arnprior Aerospace, formed from divesting from Boeing in 2005.
QuoteIn 2005, the American aerospace giant divested itself of its eastern Ontario plant as part of a new strategy to focus on integrating parts it would now purchase from independent subcontractors, according to Tyler Chamberlin, associate professor at the University of Ottawa's Telfer School of Management.
In the years that followed, Chamberlin said aerospace plants in regions with lower labour costs have won contracts with Boeing, meaning the odds were stacked against the Arnprior facility.
"I think that they're dealing with global forces that were just too much for them to overcome, so it's not surprising," he said.
Arnprior Aerospace has itself been operating a 7,000 square metre plant in Chihuahua, Mexico, since 2010.

Remember these??
https://www.slashgear.com/1452344/gmc-massive-twin-six-engine/
There was a transport co,. In Eastern Ontario that had a large fleet of GMC cab overs with these engines…….Anybody remember Taggart Transport from Perth?
I believe the owner of the co. also owned a Citation he leased to Bradley’s (rumour).

How some Canadians spend their money……(it is used though !)
https://boattest.com/article/lady-jorgia-biggest-brokerage-sale?utm_medium
If your wondering about the home port of this yacht….it’s the Marshall Islands, a common sight on the stern of large yachts. Also, CI …..Cayman Islands is another. Why would billionaires want to pay taxes like normal Canadians? Most large yachts fly “flags of convenience” for the same reasons commericial ships…
