Finally arrived

For all of you who have been asking where my plane is, it is no longer in Okotoks. The Tecnam got flown to King George March 12. Sebastian couldn't make it this time because he had to take pictures of my landing at King George and one day I can get a picture of it.

The trip took 4.8 hours air time going through Rogers Pass which was a bit tricky since FSS did not know that it was snowing as they don't have any real reporting stations in the vicinity. Even the one at Revelstoke is automated. It was a bit cool in the Pass and at Revelstoke but at least fuel is available 24/7 there. However, you can get real mogas at for our Rotax's at Salmon Arm. 

Don't forget the Vargas fly-out planned for April 4 from King George.

Free? Really?

I was driving in from Coquitlam this afternoon and I saw this. Is this for real?

Animation of US Air 1549 in the Hudson

Miracle on the Hudson was some great flying but not the first water ditching where all survived

The media was quick to say that Airbus that ditched in the Hudson was the first ever ditching of a commercial airliner where everyone survived.

It seems that's not the case. Without taking away from Capt. Sully's incredible achievement, it's been done before. Back in 1956 it was done on a flight from Hawaii to San Francisco. Read on....

The Renegade is no longer Canadian

Greetings, folks:

In December Renegade Aircraft, Inc. of Hampden, Maine, formally
agreed to acquire the Renegade line of aircraft from Murphy Aircraft,
Ltd. of Chilliwack, BC. We plan to close on the deal on or about the
15th of February and Jeremy Williams of Renegade Aircraft, Inc. will
continue production of the Renegade and offering full support and
parts for all existing builders and owners of flying Renegade
aircraft.

As part of the purchase we have four biplane quick-build kits that we
will prepare for sale and will sell at an introductory base kit
discount of $19,999 usd. If you or someone you know is interested in
having one of these kits, please let me know immediately. There is
no financial obligation to be placed on the list for the kits.

We'll subsequently contact you to confirm the order and place a
refundable deposit of $1,000 usd on the kit. The kit will ship
within 30-60 days thereafter, with payment due upon shipment.

The Renegade biplane is a superb product. We would very much like to
have you as part of the Renegade family as we continue the tradition
of excellence established by Murphy Aircraft.

Please do not hesitate to contact me—I'm happy to answer any
questions or concerns you might have. My direct line is
