He's not. He's in the hospital. "Mental Fatigue" is the diagnosis. He may never get out  . |

I'm sure you are Fritz . OK, here's the deal. It's NOT a new VA . In fact, it's an old one that has continued to grow in the background a bit while I tried out a few other ideas. After many months of playing around with different ideas to keep this all interesting for me, I've finally figured it out. I actually now prefer the heavy singles to medium twins. I'm getting to the point where the airliners are a lot of work and frankly, a bit boring. Also, thanks to a good friend, I'm getting "glass-crippled". Now that doesn't mean I like glass panels, but I've been stuck in the old ways for so long that I got rather set in my ways. I've now got some pretty modern, light (relative to airliners) equipment that have modern avionics and I'm really loving them. And so it is, Air Caribou is continuing to evolve. We now have a major charter ops out west (Canada) running mostly in B.C., north to Alaska and south as far as California. We also have our bases out east here of course, and have expanded down to Kitchener/Waterloo and look to moving east a bit further yet. One big part of all this is we have networked (and have formed a network, in fact) with air ambulance operations in the UK, Alaska and Norway. It's a complicated arrangement but basically we can share pilots and resources when needed and to further our training. So Air Caribou now has some dedicated machinery for air ambulance work, including the King Air B200 Blackhawk, Pilatus PC 12, Twin Otter and Caravan. We feel the fleet is ideally suited to where our operations mostly fly. Not all those aircraft are at all of our bases. So that's the "scoop" and believe me, I've been going nuts painting over the past couple of days (Carenado aircraft are no longer paintable - about all you can do is change colours on them if you're lucky. Don't believe me? Do a search online for PC12 repaints! This DOES influence what I buy from them now). I'm posting our first published air ambulance flight in the screenshots forum shortly. You may get an idea as to what we're doing from there. OK, thanks for reading. I now return you to your regularly scheduled Christmas  . |
