I drive various aircraft up here in the north.. both big and small, wet and dry.

Which airport do you fly out of SuperE?
Where do you fly out of vstrom?? I flew all sorts of planes on floats and wheels north of 60 for 8 years. Maybe we have crossed localizers at some point. What are you flying??

I live and work out of Thompson MB. Currently driving around 415's, c310(as a birddog), Turbo otter and the Navajo.

Not quite north of 60 but I used to fly a caravan up in the Barren Lands quite a bit at a previous job.

Citation out of Ab.. bet that you drive around some folks from the oil patch. I used to flog around in northern Ab on a crappy 206 on wheels 10 years ago..

I hope your CJ4 isn't nordo, just you :-D

As you can see from my current signature photo, I like to get altitude even when not flying.

Next time I'm heading to YQL for CASARA flying, I'll give you a heads up (I'm naviguesser and spotter, not pilot).

I read through the postings and see a number of pilots on the board. What could be better than meeting pilots who enjoy talking about Delicas and flying? (Maybe Delicas, flying and MOTORBIKES??!!) :)

If anyone finds themselves passing through Fort Mac sometime, that's where I'm based flying a private Citation B. Feel free to stop on by and say hi... It's the big, big hangar at the west end of the line with the green L300 in the lot.

Yeah, at the very least we should start a thread here about cool sh&t with engines.. start throwing some pictures up.

I like the picture of your rig.. it's the same colour that I re-painted my bike a few years ago. I've often thought of doing that to my 300.

It would be fun to paint it in CANPAT. OverlanderJay would love that too! Or a flat dark gray.

My mind just naturally goes where it shouldn't ... what, if anything, do you wear the other two thirds?

When I'm not at work, of course. Plus weekends.
