moeman Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 There's one in Langley that makes me cringe. It says "Speed Limit 60 When Children On Highway". That's it. Children playing on the highway? Seriously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEFCON Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 There's an interesting drop in the speed limit and signage that's somewhat similar on Hwy 11 west of Fort Francis Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Or as I my ex-RCAF dad told me about low flying aircraft, "I didn't see the registration but the pilots name was Jack Here" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Powick Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I was asked by my Squadron CO to reply to a letter written by a lady who was complaining about the horrendous noise of 3 C-130s in formation, flying very low over a parcel of land just north of YTR.I 'did my thing' and sent my reply and signed off for the CO. Later he called me in and said it was a fairly well worded letter but he felt I had been a bit over dramatic with my closing line........which was......Again, we regret any disturbance we have may have caused by our three aircraft during Low Level Tactical Air Lift manoeuvres, however, we trust you will understand that there are occasions where you will be subject to the 'Sound of Freedom' during our required training missions.The lady never sent another letter........that I know of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innuendo Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Somewhat similar story during the early sixties, CF-100 days, in North Bay. Again it was a lady who phoned about noise and was put through to the Sqn Ops centre.The gent on duty asked her if the aircraft were "Ours or their's". "Ours of course" was the reply, "Thank God for that" he said, and hung up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W5 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Lots of airports and airbases in Europe have the sign as well (besides the low flying areas and ranges); and for good reason: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W5 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Beware: Aircraft Crossing! Another insanely low approach photo Gilze Rijen is one of those famous airports where planes flew very low final approaches. After the U.S. F-4E Phantom about to touch down on spotters heads in June 1984, here’s another ultra low final approach at Gilze-Rijen, this time by a Royal Netherlands Air Force NF-5A. Taken in Winter 1987 by Jan Klijs, the photo depicts a Dutch NF-5 flying with the 316 Sqn, about to land at Gilze Rijen. The aircraft touched down short of runway 28 but the fence was low and the aircraft wasn’t damaged too much. Just a close call for both the pilot and anyone in the vicinity.
