Default A little off topic here...

I flew up to Churchill Manitoba for a day trip with my first cousin Captain, who is flying tourists into Churchill for the polar bear season. I sat in the jump seat up front and watched a couple of professional 25000 hr pilots bring in a prop job in low pressure 29.55, winds 35 gusting to 50 kts, rain, visibility 2 miles,base clouds 900 ft... Very cool. Went for a quick dirve to see the Black Brant rocket site, the remains of the Dew Line site, saw 2 polar bears being airlifted out of bear jail, and bumped into two more just a couple miles out of town. These bears are the size of small elephants! People carry high powered rifles here. Bad pics, Cheers Rob
