I took my girlfriend and her sister on a city tour last Sunday. Logged 0.8 hours in the book. Sara has been up a few times with me already, but this was Kates first time. The flight was at 830 in the morning, so the air was still smooth and the visibility was decent. This…
The Canadian Press is reporting that Porter is going to be having a “ceremonial announcement” on Monday to state to the press and public that the Island Airport “is being revitalized with additional jobs and flights.” So who is invited? The event Monday morning at the Toronto City Centre Airport will feature federal Finance Minister…
Seems like Toronto Airways is on a PR/Marketing Blitz. They have updated their website with a Newsletter and a new Video. This is the first ever edition of “Flight Lines” and according to Mr. Sifton, it will be a regular publication. I suspect once every six months.

Flights will begin in June and is a welcome addition to Thunder Bay: “Porter’s choice of Thunder Bay as its newest destination is an exciting boost for the region’s travelers, as well as our tourism and economic…
Well… the original plan was to head up to Sudbury with Matt. Scratch that! I backed my girlfriends car into a pole and now have to pay to get it fixed. boourns! So, we headed up to Wiarton (CYVV) instead. Shorter flight, less $$! Wiarton is famous for Wiarton Willie. The groundhog that predicts if…
