Ah yes, death by U.S. air force policy. No the Otter is still alive and DE Havilland is still taking orders for new ones. It is still one of the very few STOL a/c available for those countries that don't have 10,000 ft. runways
those are comparable a/c for a controller and a circuit operation. Take those same a/c and throw in two C150s on solo circuits including one on first solo and it gets complicated real quick. I had the joy of telling Transport 101 with Pierre on board to execute a missed approach because the...
Yes it does. It doesn't have jets so a controller can run a normal circuit with compatible aircraft and not have to be concerned with speed differential. A circuit of 5 aircraft will generate close to 50 runway movements per hour. Inserting even a single tudor speed aircraft into the mix...
show up at HM for a couple of circuits and I know of at least one (no not me) local resident who will be on the phone to both TC and the majors office before the gear is in the wells after the first pass. You don't often hear from those of us who like aircraft but the other group never shuts up
There are 18000, sorry to belabour that figure, jobs on the Canadian market that have vanished. Think about the number of businesses that have downsized or gone under to generate that figure. The full time job market has shrunk and more positions have opened part time. That is not good
how be you all forget about all your GDPs and so forth and look at employment. Whilst our population may have shrunk there is one figure that is up: unemployment. There is a loss of 18000 jobs, youth unemployment is up, core population unemployment is up. That means all those people have no...
not sure how good they would be in the ice though. The concept is good and I am sure that any of the companies operating in the north would be delighted with having the government buy them new ships but I have never read about an ice certified LST
got my son-in-law in, so there is one documented success and I know of one other who actually ended up as a flying officer on F18s, sorry I don't have any documents.
