it's a bird! it's a plane! it's not superman that's a local fella with his death machine. I don't think that's the name they market them under, but just the same...it's a snowmobile motor hooked to a propellor that you wear on your back hmmm

went fishing with the family the other day-charlie brown got her first catch of the year. coleman did too but his was on a hookless lure, so eventually the fish got away. miranda caught a nice pickeral but it was post-spawn mangy so she released it. one more time the empire strikes back! frickin' jackfish lunged at me and got my arm. it's actually a picture of a poster, not an actual flightdeck, and the poster is a print of a painting, but it still made a nice shot.

coleman just couldn't stay awake another second! too funny.

yeah cathy, I see the ice pilots on a fairly regular basis, the cameras weren't there in fort good hope. (we can tell when the plane is on final approach if the camera crews are aboard-with binocs you can see the little camera mounted high on the tail) I should say that those guys are pretty much the same on camera and off and pretty decent folks to boot.

always a frickin' bear...every airport has a bear...how cliche'. that's in YVQ, it's a small griz.

what else we got- view from the tower in YVQ this is a kick ass all digital touch screen futuristic bunch of coolness, way different than my museum of aviation. buffalo airways on the ramp in YGH- doing the run-up the big DC4 was generating some nice little dust devils.

I have to say when I'm flying over the mountains in a Twin Otter on my way to a remote little place, and i'm looking out at the mountains going by, river in the distance it's like wow man and I'm getting paid for this shit! if life is a game-no more calls-we have a winner!
