Mr. Louie sar!! How''s she goin'' ''ol man?
Drove right by Debert on me way to Halifax in March, but Mrs. b was itchin'' to get to watch the curling, so we didn''t even stop for a pee.
Now, about yer question.
I started pumping floats and shining windshields in 1962. The company had three DC-3''s, a couple of Cansos, two Norsemen, four Beavers and an Otter.
All gone, don'' de draino.
The little company on the next dock had a handful of 180''s and a Norseman.
Ditto.
Of the three mining companies here, one had two Daks and a Gulfstream, and the other two had a DC-3 each.
Ditto.
We had an Aero Club with a Fleet Canuck and a couple of Cherokees, later on an Aztec.
Ditto.
You could ride to Montreal on either the blue F-27 or the red Viscount, or if you had lots of time take the DC-3 milk run back and forth across the river. Later, we could ride the blue BAC1-11 or the red DC-9. On the early morning flights they served you a half decent breakfast.On the late morning flight it was a half decent sandwich, and at suppertime a half decent meal.
Ditto.
We used to have a tower here then Nav Can took it over.
Damn, I''m gettin'' sick a writin'' dittos.
Now we can ride to Montreal in a piece of plastic turboprop sh!t that''s no faster than either the Fairchild or the Viscount, and not as comfortable as the DC-3. They feed you a snack of something green - could be either new cheese or old meat - between two pieces of bread hard enough to snap yer knashers.
Now, shouldn''t you rephrase the question? Whattinell doesn''t stink in aviation today?
