If you're in the mood to listen to something horrifyingly depressing. ATC recording from United 93.

I was in NYC on September 11th in 2009. It was a very surreal experience...

Air Georgian and Regional 1 have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to merge:

http://www.marketwire.com/printer_friendly?id=1830018

Quote:
Air Georgian will continue to focus primarily on its CPA relationship with Air Canada. AGL currently operates B1900 aircraft under the brand name of Air Canada Express. R1 will focus on expanding its domestic presence, specializing in serving the natural resource sector.
Quote:
Upon closing, the combined operations will utilize Beechcraft 1900D, de Havilland DHC 8 100, DHC 8 300 and CRJ 100/200 aircraft types, with the ability to quickly add additional larger gauge aircraft types with the long term goal of positioning the brands as major players in the 18-76 seat turbo-prop and jet market.

I LOVE Soviet Era aircraft. Everything looks so sinister.

Asked my teacher if we could watch the live stream. She, nor anyone else in the class, don't know what C Series is.This at an alleged aviation school. What a joke.

What? What school is that?

Looking forward to watching some video of the takeoff and landing later, the live stream just wasn't working on my connection here at work.

789 tomorrow!

Ok, it is ridiculously quiet on departure. I wonder what thrust setting was being used.
