ChairmanoftheBORED Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 This season I had the supreme pleasure of driving in the company of Captain Jock Mackay. A living legend in my book. Commercially flying a Jetranger at 72 on fires... Perhaps I will be able to afford a 'retirement' after all Anyone know of a similar aged person flying commercially? Apart from John Schutz in TO of course. Quote
407 Driver Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 I got to meet Jock on the 2003 fires, what an amazing gentleman ! :up: :up: Also, Walt Ramsay was on that fire, a true Canadian Legend also ! Quote

204B Driver Posted September 6, 2005 Report Posted September 6, 2005 KO must be getting there as well--or maybe he just looks it <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep KO is up there then there is W. Grover and 407 Driver. HEHEHEHE Ken :shock: Quote
407 Driver Posted September 6, 2005 Report Posted September 6, 2005 Low blow from 204B Driver :up: I'm not old, I just look and feel old. Still have well over a year left of the "4's", but I'm betting that the candles on your birthday cake could start a 3 alarm blaze Yes, Grover is getting up there, probably near 62-63 if I recall, but still the best in the business. Every Recurrent / PPC ride with him is a great learning experience and a pleasure. Barker is still a young fellow, about 3 years behind WG. I remember a lot of great flights and jobs with the old legends like .. Bill Foote Evan Cameron Nick Bloomfield, AKA Krusty Jim Davies Kobayashi Our very own Caaviation poster, CAP ! and I was fortunate to meet and/or work with... Tom Gurr Don Mackenzie Mike McDonnaugh Maynard Bergh Rolfe Ganong Egan Agar Fred Baird Barney Bent and the ultimate legend Bud Tillotson ! Quote
