Mark_ Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Hey guys...I don't mean to intrude but I only speak up when I can't bite my tongue any longer...tonight something big and red flew over my place in Canmore... around 1000 AGL....way below mountain tops. How is this being navigated? Hats off to who ever was sitting in that office...dark, mountain terrain...wow. Regards Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
407 Driver Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 They use GPS routing via pre-programed waypoints, and NVG. Oh and that was little and RED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firehawk Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 407driver did you get a night rating and NVG for that rocket. Oh ya, sure was a big shaker of a party down the street from me, I hope you didnt mind that 1967 ford parked on the lawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_ Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Thanks 407...I'm pretty sure that this one had twin Kawasiki's and clam shell doors...too late for you to be over Canmore, no? Regards Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
407 Driver Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Twin Kawasaki's ?? Like this...??? Last time I checked a BK has twin Lycoming LTS-101's ...although a good Kawasaki engine may be more reliable? and a BK isn't really known as a BIG aircraft. Firehawk, git yer **** 67 ford off my real estate I did get my night rating in '79 at Penticton, and I have been over Canmore at night many times, but that was a long time ago in an Orange aircraft.

407 Driver Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I never heard them come in here this evening, but then the sound of all those (7) Canucks Pucks hitting the Columbus Net was a bit deafening :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firehawk Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 407Driver, Sorry for the tire marks on the lawn, the grass will grow back in the spring, The big problem is the front door is alot bigger then when you left it ,just as long as you don't mind crawling through the cab window of the truck to get in. Thats good to hear you have'nt started that NVG heli-skiing pilot program yet over Canmore. oh, I better be careful I might open a can of worms with that comment. :shock: Good to hear from you, be safe out there.

Haven't heard them heading back YYC yet...hope all is well. But Kawasaki does make the transmission and the airframe,( the tailboom is made in Germany). The "C" comes with Arriel engines.

Boy I wouldn't mind flying on of those Kawasakis but it would probably kill me at my age. I don't know if I could auto with them. HEHEHEHEEHEH Fly Safe buddy.
