Just finished “Fate is the Hunterâ€â€¦here’s my two cents I don’t know if it was a great contribution to Canadian aviation but know it was a great contribution to our stability,,,the experienced flight crew who flew materials (read radio aids) into Greenland before WW2 so the “greenâ€...

Thanks for all the great info fellas...that's tits!

Thanks for all of the info fellas. My uncle just bought a t-craft so i'll get him to teach me how to fly it. Right now i'm leaning towards a 150 though because I have no tailwheel time. Nice plug Charles :P where can I view both of your 150's? Cheers, HP

Thanks Agent Smith...I mean Gannet. :P Looking through the ads I have started to see what makes the a/c what it's worth. Personally i just want something to fly for a few hundred hours and get out whilst not losing my shirt. What exactly is buying "on condition"? Is this basically the...

If you had ~$25000 to spend on an a/c what would you get? BUCK-50, or vintage like a taylorcraft? Asking from the perspective of putting a few hundred hours on a machine and doing it as cheaply as possible. I’m having a tough time when perusing ads to see the difference between the $35,000...

First off, Congratulations Ironman. I am also in the process of becoming a pilot in the Canadian Forces however only at security screening stage right now. You said for aircrew selection to study up on high school math. By this do you mean algebra and trig or just the basics…being able to...

I thought I might be sweatin’ my ass off in front of a firing squad. I think my biggest problem will be that I don’t have a lot of volunteer work. My spare time was working to pay for flying. I will heed the advice though...it is greatly appreciated. Thanks alot bros.

I got my application submitted for the military the other day now I'm up for a 2 hour long interview. Can someone out there tell me what to expect i.e do they give you hypothetical situations to sort out? Is it a fairly stressful ordeal? WTF am I supposed to talk about for two hours...
