@HalifaxAuthor @usairforce @BarksdaleAFB_LA @AFGlobalStrike Beautiful shot. Are these your favorite to watch??

Happy B-Fifty-Tuesday! Here are shots I took of Boeing B-52G-110-BW Stratofortress 58-0244 'HellsADroppin', at the Canadian Forces Base Shearwater air show back in the early 90s. The BUFF was always a popular visitor at the show. @usairforce @BarksdaleAFB_LA @AFGlobalStrike

@kuwcarm Yeah I completely agree! I couldn't go a day without talking about Christ either. What are your favorite scriptures??

@JohnBrayman Thanks!! I moved from White Rock British Columbia, though I went to university in Utah. I played to a +4 competitively through all of high school and college, so it's nice to get lucky and play like I used to every once in a while 🤣! Definitely wish I could get out more though!

@elder_captain Wow and a ringer of a score! Where did you move from? Welcome to Ottawa btw, and once this lockdown is over, hope you enjoy the many courses we are blessed with here!

Beauty of a day! Pinching myself that we are able to golf this early in Ottawa...April 10 😀 I normally go to Florida around this time of year just so I can! 🙌🏻⛳️🏌🏼‍♂️

@greggsymonds @YOW_Weather I was out there last week with some friends! @sbates65 Pembroke and Petawawa by the lake is a nice spot with all this warm weather!!

@YOW_Weather made it to 25C at 3:55PM ... official ... U can hear the buds on the trees just cryin' for rain .... CFB Petawawa ON.

Today is #Ottawa's first 24°C of the year. Typical first is April 30. Record earliest is Mar 18, 2012; latest Jun 12, 1983. #OttWeather

@JohnBrayman I've only played one course so far in the area! I got here just before winter and played Pakenham Highlands. Great design, though a bit beat up conditions wise. Shot a smooth 73 in 40mph winds and driving rain though on the last week of the season, so that was sweet!!

@elder_captain Would say for public courses that Emerald Links is my go-to (great value & conditions). Stonebridge and Marshes are nice suburb / corporate courses. Private: friends that are members at Hylands and Rideauview. How about you?

@GreyHawkGolf @ClubLink Looks good!! Hope I can get out!! What's the course like??

Tarps are coming off; golf is coming. #GHGolfLife @ClubLink

@bshep17 @Flagstick @the_ovga Truth!! Happy golfing!!

@Flagstick @the_ovga If you’re golfing. Remember. The staff are doing what they are told to do in terms of guidelines. Be respectful.....we’re golfing!

Plenty golf being played in the Ottawa Valley today...we have some 41 course opening dates in our online calendar for this week alone (17 today & tomorrow). All the best to the clubs & staff for safe and successful openings.⛳️ @the_ovga

@proudcanuck26 @ctvottawa For real!! Where are you thinking of playing??

@Guy_Theriault @whitesandsgolf @Marc_Theriault White sands looks pretty sweet!! What are your favorite tracks around town??

A gorgeous day for some #golf @whitesandsgolf with my brother @Marc_Theriault in #MyOttawa Keeping sane during the COVID lockdown!

@FlyYOW @avgeek0123 @navcanada Love this!! As a pilot, I cannot thank enough the brave men and women who staff those centers to keep us safe up there!!

Today is the International Day of the #AirTrafficController! We salute the @navcanada team that monitors our skies to keep them safe! / C'est ajd la Journée internationale des contrôleurs du trafic aérien! Nous les remercions de garder un oeil sur le ciel! #YOW #ATC

@OrleansCanuck @HalifaxAuthor Looks like these guys had it under control. Sometimes what can happen is the wind can make crosswind correction look more dramatic than if otherwise not

@HalifaxAuthor Geez. Good recovery. Not exactly stabilized, I would ask pilots whether going around was possible and if so, the better option?

Whoah! Nice flying! 😷❤🇨🇦🛬

@OrleansCanuck @HalifaxAuthor Going around in theory is always good, but can lead to complications if under IFR and busy. Not to mention burning a lot of fuel, you might look at up to an hour of holding if it is busy. If weather threatens to deteriorate, you might be better off heading to your alternate!

@SarahAtNAV Love me a towering cumulus ehhh??

Beauty storms to the north! #cottagetime #pec

@navcanada @SarahAtNAV Retweet!! Thanks to you incredible men and women of iron who keep us safe in the skies!

Winds over 100 km/h and 30 cm of snow didn’t stop NAV CANADA technologists from completing work on a VOR in Lethbridge, Alberta. Thank you to the professionals who keep our skies safe!

@OrleansCanuck @clark_aviation That is rough!! Something I like to do is to call out "gear down" even when I'm on the ground. In the PA-28 I fly, the gear switch is next to the heading indicator and light, so it is easy to hit the wrong switch if I am not careful!

@AngelaS49046631 @clark_aviation Parking Daks at Winnipeg the standard was to have one prop at 6:00. Helped that day the Sqn Ops officer elected to raise gear BEFORE starting engines. Fell to one side on both the prop and wing tip. Basically no damage. One of my colder mornings.

As a very young airman, I was taught to treat any propeller as 'Live'. These Luftwaffe NCO pilots clearly had a different view of the risks involved! The Messerschmitt Bf 109 has been named 'Margot', if anyone (with a little more time) cares to research the history involved.

Less parasitic drag and a leaner aerodynamic profile by influencing the camber of the wing.

@kclepley Less parasitic drag and a leaner aerodynamic profile by influencing the camber of the wing.

Fun fact! Look closely at the flaps. On the -400 you will see both outboard and inboards are triple slotted. Now, look at the -8. The inboard is double slotted and the outboard is single slotted. Why?

@markivanowich @ChrisPirillo We will be watching their career with great interest

Someone at this store is a serious Star Wars fan.

@emilysincoming @alicedembowsky We stand here amidst your name, not theirs!!

@alicedembowsky My old screen name, which was just an anagram of my boy name, was given to a minor Star Wars character in one of the books and I stopped being able to get that name on new games / websites.
