Jump to postFor all of those that are so quick to bash the colour scheme, you clearly haven't seen it on a -30 degree clear blue sky with snow on the ground day! It looks absolutely stunning in those conditions!
And if you have, you must be colour blind or something to not see how good it looks!

Jump to postA nice small, inexpensive touch. Emphasis on the inexpensive part, they are mainly a charter based business.

Are there stairs in your house?
I personally think it looks quite nice. I wasn't going to get my hopes up believing that the original 'conception' drawing were going to be an accurate reflection.
I'm still just happy knowing that I'll get to see them in Canada soon enough, along with the 777.

The Jack Bauer Power Hour rules, and if you can't even take the time to figure out what city the show is actually taking place in, then the rest of your arguments are just as pointless.
Don't take Jack's pie kiddos.
Keep in mind it may not have been a diesel powered version of the Diamondstar. Most of the models in North America still run on good ol'100LL. I was under the impression that there were only demo models of the diesel engines operating in North America, for the most part. The Diamondstar I rent takes...
Jump to post2H4, that is a scary picture you painted. I can't believe that any instructor would allow themselves to rely only on the technology. Last I checked VFR was "see and be seen" flying.

Jump to postYa Mark its been tough to be around. Work work and then more work, and a little University on the side for kicks on the weekends.
I've been trying to fly about 1 or 2 times a month, but I have to save some money since I recently purchased a Condo.
I can't see why they ended up towing it to the runway, seems like overkill if you ask me. It is any trailing aircraft's responsibility to keep a safe distance back. And just from my experience the break-away thrust that the Antonov has appeared to need would have kept me waiting on the company ramp,...
