That's my thinking too, I added Canjet because I could.

Nm I think I figured it out, enerjet I believe.
Enerjet it shall be. High density seating (take row 1 or an emergency exit if able). Bring your own entertainment (no TV's on the 37), as well as your own neck pillows/blankets (there's an extra charge for these). There's some complementary food and whatnot but you may wish to bring along your own food, also.

Looking at the pictures of that UPS crash, it is clear that the cockpit took more damage then first thought earlier.

Pretty good weather at the time so it will interesting to see what comes from the investigation.

Finally uploaded a video of a B-1 performing a touch and go at BIL. Of course, the terminal blocks the actual touchdown point.

I'd advise turning the volume down, the paint grinder makes for a less than pleasant experience.



On a related note, this is what a B-1 looks like after meeting the Earth at a high rate of speed. It was performing a training mission in SE Montana, all 4 crew members ejected and survived.

Read about that Bone crash yesterday, that is one heck of a shot of the crash site.

Glad all the crew made it out safely.

A Buffalo Airways DC-3 operating Yellowknife to Hay River had an engine fire right after departure, the aircraft came up slightly short of the runway and contacted trees. No injuries.

One wonders if the Ice Pilots film crews were around for this?

Belly landing with 21 passengers.

I wonder who Buffalo Joe will fire over this?

Ice Pilots film crew is usually out of town over the summer so doubt there'll be much in the show about this one, unlike the Electra incident two winters ago.

Glad everyone was able to walk away, sounds like it could have been a lot worse. Saw the plane in Buffalo's yard this morning and it looked to be in surprisingly good shape.

Something about the A350 I just don't like. I think the A330-200 is the best looking airplane Airbus makes... the engines in so tight, big powerful wings. Beauuutiful.

The lines of the A330/340 line have always been my personal favourite too, however the champ in my opinion is the A340-500. Love the 4-holers and the A340 finally got the engines it deserved, and the dimensions just right:
