Dear Club Members,
There’s an idea that’s been haunting me for while, and I’d like to share it with you.. maybe, in doing so I’ll finally get some weight off my shoulders 
So, how about a trip to Russia?
Sukhoi SuperJet 100-95 was rolled out at Komsomolsk-on-Amur aircraft manufacturing plant on September, 26th. It seems, a pretty viable project is developing in the `background of the globe`:)
Sukhoi is a world known name for creation of combat aircraft and top-notch aerobatic planes.
We expect a few images from the place to come soon.
Sure thing, when it comes to ‘club member obligations’, no matter what kind of club one cares about, - as a true ‘aficionado’ he or she would normally keep a collection of items reflecting their respective devotion to the ‘idol’ - either a poster, or a piece of cloth - if you lucky enough to get one. Anything in fact would do, and ‘the sky is only the limit’ for your imagination in that case .
Speaking of the airplane lovers’ fetishes, the most appropriate kind of item would be a good scale model. Let’s talk then about providing our ‘RA-85123 Fan Club‘ members with a decent ‘figurine of Herself’, the Tu-154, registered as RA-85123.
Hello, my dear ‘RA-85123 Fan Club’ members,
It is a pleasure for me to inform you that we’ve just got a new image from Russia showing our ‘idol plane’ RA-85123.
It was spotted at Adler, - an airport servicing the Black Sea resort of Sochi - the would-be host town for the Winter Olympics-2014, by the way. And it was a job by Denis, a sure candidate for our club. Denis flies 737 for the second largest Russian carrier S7. He too flew Tu-154 before switching to Boeing. Read the rest of this entry »
It happens each and every year, and it usually goes for three days, and in these days we are having to deal with a list of ‘problems’. Although they are all ’simulated’, the level of stress they create as you work on them is fairly high. And, you would probably agree with a statement that ‘STRESS is always STRESS, it is kinda ‘always real’
Abbotsford is a place where you get in an atmosphere of the ‘permanent airshow’.
You never know what kind of surprise you are going to see on your next trip to the place. See a report from the ‘permanent aviation parade’ going on in Abbotsford soon.
TAKING 5 MIN BREAK
Will be with you in no time.
This set of photos is dated to the last year’ ’shooting season’.
Once in a while I would go to work a little bit earlier than it’s necessary, and sometimes this tactic yields some noteworthy results. Actually, I’ve already accumulated quite a collection of interesting photos taken at such occasions. And there’s been an attempt to start a respective ’series’ made in this post.
Hey, Tristan,
remember, a question somehow popped up as we discussed the Helios Air accident, and it was with regard the ‘Passenger Oxygen On’ light. You asked, whether there’s such a light in the 737’s flight deck.
The answer was ‘Yes’, and here you can see it
See, the light is ON, but no worries - it is only because I had pressed it, - as we always do in order to check the bulbs in particular annunciators.
At last I’ve made a ‘debut flight’ to Charlottetown. I’ve heard about the place quite a bit - from fellow WJ pilots familiar with Atlantic Canada, from my Flickr contact ‘Mabel&Charlotte.
I also flew over, at around 40.000 feet, but never did a one trip ‘with landing’ at YYG.
And it happened yesterday!
(I’ll post more pictures from this trip)
