Last week I attended this months Transport Canada Aviation Safety Seminar. The topic was winter weather and icing presented by a CBC Meterologist (Nick Czernkovich). I learned quite a few new things thanks to his presentation. Consider the following situation: You’re flying above the clouds in non icing conditions. As your making your way to…
A friend and I headed up to Parry Sound this past Saturday. I would recommend to everyone (In southern Ontario) to take advantage of this 23°C weather and blue skies to get into the air and enjoy the autumn to it’s fullest. For the first time ever, the airplane I wanted to use was “timed…

I went on a flight this past week to Goderich, for which I have a post lined up. In the mean time, enjoy these videos! Fly-by on Oakland Airport Control Tower
After the tragic death of the owner of Greenbank Airport in an ultralight accident (CADORS: 2008O1622), his wife is selling the airport. Mickys wife, Dorothy had this to say: While I am confident in my ability to operate the Travel business, I am less so in regard to the airport. Greenbank Airport is a jewel…
