    @Andy — no need to be sorry, i’m used to being the funniest thing people have seen in a while. wait…

    @mcpaige — i totally nearly hurled all over the dashboard… “just focus… fooooocusss, do not hurl on pilot… hold it holllld it”

    @Nate — hmm well let’s find out. just called Harbour air and yes it was! they also fly DHC-2s. how did you know that?? ps. i had posters of the MiG25 foxbat, F-18, and the Stealth on my walls as a child. wanted to be a fighter pilot.

    @Jak — sorry. i do that. crush hopes and dreams and romance… it’s much less barfy on a clear day… so, something to cling to.

    Hmm not sure if that is quite my cup of tea. I used to get both sea sick and air sick when I was a wee Mark, a comibination of the two with a plane taking off on water might bring those memories flooding back…

    Sometime you should ride in a fighter jet.

    I made a post about riding in a fighter jet, but I think it got lost somewhere.
