Dockjock Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 I ran into John Morgan, ex-Royal Canadian Air Farce at the Muskoka airport last week. He rolled up in a Zenair something-or-other kit plane after a week at Oshkosh. His voice was unmistakeable, and after chatting for a couple minutes we got to the issue of his registration C-IMFC and his most famous character... ...I''m Mike, from Canmore. Great to run into people that purely fly for fun. Made my day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydroces Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Interesting! I was working the other side of the radio while he was doing circuits at YQA today. Although his voice is distinctive I never put 2 and 2 together. Cool info on the registration! (I believe he flies a Zodiac 601.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest graunch1 Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Another "cute" registration was on Phoenix Helicopters' Astar that the Edmonton Police now lease. It was C-FYFN. Suppsedly this was translated to F... You F. N. the name of a former employee of helicopter company in Northern BC (near mountains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockjock Posted August 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 A couple days ago John made a precautionary landing on hwy.118 east of YQA due to loss of engine power. Luckily he was OK, he actually happened to land right next to the airport manager's house who gave him a lift back! All turned out OK, but FSS was quite confused as to how he could land off airport and get a lift back so quickly from the "airport manager". Good on the S-76 crew for going out and searching prior to finding out all was OK too. Good work folks! :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
