Recreational pilot permit, qualified IPad & GPS expert, back seat pilot. "COPA NATIONAL ARTICULATE AMBASSADOR AWARD 2004"  9th year organizing "The Interprovincial Air Tour"   

Retired. Worked at Canadore College for 29 years.  Flying since 1976.  Own and fly a few aircraft.  A WagaBond, A Zodiac 601XLB and an RV-9A.  Goal is to keep finding new airports and destinations to fly to.

I have been retired for the past 8 years. I have a variety of interests which includes mechanics, construction, photography and cooking. I am currently the President of the South River/Sundridge Flying Club.  I have had a love of aviation since a child. I have been licensed since the "70s, as PPL with night endorsement. GPL (both non current) because I now fill all my flying needs with an Ultralight Pilot Permit. I love the new regulations for ultralight.  Ultralight Pilot licensing has very minimal government involvement and medicals are self declared. If you stay in the "Basic" category the licensing and maintenance of your aircraft is similar.  It is a perfect category as you get older. I built a Kolb Firestar in my basement and have been flying it for 2 years. It provides an excellent platform for aerial photography and is perfect for punching holes in small clouds. Check it out in the Homebuilders section.
