That was 2 months ago. I haven’t flown since February due to school and tests and assignments and the like. Now that exams are all over I am ready to get back in the cockpit. In fact, if the weather stays as nice as it was today, I will be flying tomorrow afternoon. I plan on finishing my PPL this summer and starting the CPL this fall. Before I do that though I have to still write the written test and finish up a few more lessons.

In other news I am also working on starting an aviation related podcast a la Airplane Geeks and Plane Crazy Down Under. The show will mainly have a Canadian aviation focus and cover news and other events myself (and possibly some co-hosts) find interesting. I will keep you up to date on the developments there.

Until next time, Aviate, Navigate, Communicate!

A lot has happened in the past month though:

• I’ve finished my fourth year of computer engineering and management (only 2 more to go [long story about why 2 instead of 1] and I’ll have my degree!)
• My contract with IBM ended after two years with them
• I am now working an IT & Web Development job for a small company near Hamilton
• I’ve had minor surgery on my foot and it’s healing up nicely
• I’ve signed up for flight lessons with the Brantford Flying Club
• I’ve started reviewing ground school and flight lesson briefings in preparation for the PPL written test
• I attended the Canadian Aviation Expo at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum

I have a few posts lined up for the next month. Among them:

• My Flight Sim Setup
• A series on ground school material (as I review it I plan to write up about it and get your input)
• Some pictures from the Canadian Aviation Expo
• A revisit of my post on whether or not planes would take off from a conveyor belt
• much more!

Let’s get back to business!

• Our national animal is the beaver. It was chosen as a symbol of our country’s glory for its ability to soar majestically over the landscape on its wide tail.
• Due to the tilt of the Earth’s axis, and our northern latitude, during the winter months Canada actually travels backwards in time several days.
• The Canadian accent is actually much milder than most Americans imagine, and many Canadians live and work amongst Americans undetected, constantly gathering hair samples.
• Canada is a constitutional monarchy, which technically means we have to obey the Queen if she orders us to do something. It’s mainly a symbolic thing however, as she rarely exercises the privilege – the last time being in 1978 when she ordered us to execute Gordon Lightfoot.
• Measured by landmass, Canada is the second most obese country in the world, after Russia.
• Canada is the home of many great inventions, like the electric light bulb, the television, the telephone, and intellectual property theft.
• Canada has the world’s largest coastline.
• Canada has the world’s highest percentage of schoolchildren who know which country has the world’s largest coastline.

Happy Birthday Canada!
