Stories from the Sky It's not every day that I get to go flying with my daughter so when she invited me to come up and have some fun with her and Graham in her gorgeous 182 on floats I jumped at the chance. Bonnie was in town to get some float time and to visit her kids who were enrolled in sailing school at SNSYC. She had a few days off work where she works.

To get flying with her and Graham in her gorgeous Skylane was something I was looking forward to for a long time. The day couldn't have been any nicer to fly around the southern Gulf Islands especially in a floatplane. CAVOK with light wind out of the NW. Bonnie and her husband Robin had recently upgraded the 182 from 230hp to a Continental O-470-50 P.Ponk 270hp with a wicked looking Hartsell Super Scimitar 3-blade prop.

It also has a spiffy new paint job that makes the plane look like it just came out of the factory.

I met Bon and Graham at the Pat Bay float base on a gorgeous Thursday morning in July with headset bag and camera bag awkwardly slung over my shoulder. Dodging the goose land mines on the seaplane ramp, I was just in time to see Graham launch C-GRTI with the tug.

After getting squared away in the back seat and getting belted in and headset on, I got my camera out and put the 20mm on hoping to get some great shots. Although not the golden hour, the contrasting colours were spectacular in the sunshine. It was one of those days when it hard to not take a good photo.

Bon started RTI and let it warm up then did the runup before Graham got takeoff clearance for Shawnigan Lake. We were going to do a 'splash 'n go' but Bon wanted to say hi to a girlfriend that lives on the lake. After a beautiful landing at Shawnigan, Bonnie step-taxied to the west arm where Liz's home is.

This time of year there is lots of traffic on the lake and we were constantly looking out for ski boats, jet skis, and

boaters in general. Most of these people have no clue how to deal with a floatplane that suddenly appears on the lake and we were having to put up with a lot of wake from various craft that seemed to lack even the basic courtesy of creating very little wake.

After saying goodbye to Liz and her daughter, we left Shawnigan and headed out over Cobble Hill to Duncan and Crofton. Graham was thinking Bon should get some practice landing at Thetis Island, but boat traffic this time of year at Telegraph Cove was a bit much so we crossed over the ‘Ditch’ to come down Trincomali Channel on the west side of Valdez and Gabriola to Active Pass. Flying at 300'-500’ is a new thing for me but not much point going higher when you have floats and the view is spectacular.

The wind was picking up, and by the time we got to the outer side of Maine Island, we were getting a strong westerly tail-wind that pushed us along quickly. Crossing over to South Pender, we talked to Victoria Tower and got clearance for low-level crossing of the Spit to Cordova Bay where Bon set RTI down nicely and spun it around to back into the beach.

After getting the obligatory photos and doing some PR for the club with some of the people on the beach, we hopped back aboard for the takeoff. Graham talked to Victoria Tower for clearance across the peninsula to Pat Bay where Bon set RTI down gently after dodging an RCMP boat that cut right in front of us on final.

But what an incredible morning! 1.8 and Bon had time to get to SNSYC to pick up grandson Holden and take him to Cowichan Lake for a picnic lunch that couldn't be beat.

Holden really enjoyed pumping the floats out so perhaps he will make a great seaplane pilot himself one day. A very lucky little guy indeed.

This is an amazing area to fly floats in. Any time you want to go up and do it again, Bon, I'm available.

Abbotsford Airshow 2016

Too many Gs, and you black out: A defence reporter (and his barf bag) fly the new Super Hornet fighter jet I’m the type of person who gets queasy just looking at a roller coaster, let alone riding in one.

So, strapped into the cockpit of a Super Hornet fighter jet flying upside down 10,000 feet above the earth, I was desperately trying to figure out what the hell I had gotten myself into.

I was in the rear seat. Up front at the controls was Ty “Grouch” Frautschi, a 49-year-old retired U.S. Navy aviator, now a Boeing test pilot.

The company was at the Abbotsford Air Show to promote the most advanced version of the Super Hornet, hoping to

convince the Canadian government to purchase the aircraft. With that in mind, Boeing had offered Postmedia an up-close look at the plane.

After a 60-minute safety and mission briefing and another 15 minutes spent putting on flight gear, I found myself sitting in the Super Hornet. I had armed my ejection seat as practiced. I turned on the oxygen switch and clipped on my mask.

The Abbotsford airport tower cleared Rhino 1 — our call sign — for takeoff.

We roared down the runway like a bat out of hell and Grouch hit the afterburners, rocketing us upward to around 10,000 feet.

I had my trusty puke bag nearby.

The Super Hornet was soon over Mount Baker in the U.S., 47 kilometres from Abbotsford, cruising smoothly at a little over 1,000 km/hr.

Then Grouch, concerned that I didn’t have to deal with too much discomfort, carefully began a series of manoeuvres. That meant I would be facing gravitational or G-forces,

The equipment I was wearing was designed to slow that process down — the leggings and vest they gave me to wear were lined with air bladders that constricted as the Gs increased, slowing the rush of blood from the head. At two Gs, the bladders exerted a force akin to what you might feel when your blood pressure is taken.

Then came another maneuver at 3 Gs. The bladders tightened further. Next came 4 Gs. Pulling 4 Gs is the equivalent of experiencing four times the normal force of gravity. That’s no problem for fighter pilots who are used to 8 or 9 Gs, those who fly aerobatic aircraft, maybe even folks who enjoy roller coasters. For me, not so good.

As the bladders expanded, my legs and chest felt like they were in the clutches of a giant boa constrictor. I was light-headed.

My stomach grew queasy. Sweat poured down my back.

Grouch asked if I wanted to continue going up the G-scale. Probably not a good idea, I told him. It’s not unheard of for first-time fliers in fighter jets to vomit, and I wasn’t keen to join that club.

Instead we tried what Grouch called a “gentle loop.” I didn’t even think of the Gs — I was too occupied with the sheer terror and exhilaration of being upside down, looking through the cockpit’s plexiglass at the earth far below.

Grouch then walked me through the capabilities of the Super Hornet. Although the Abbotsford airport was more than 40 kilometres away, the aircraft’s advanced radar could see more than two dozen moving targets on the ground, mostly vehicles. On the touch-screen digital display, the pilot could quickly designate what target or targets he wants to unleash the aircraft’s firepower against.

I plowed right into the ship. On my second attempt the jet nose-dived into the ocean.

Now it was time to fly the real thing.

Grouch handed me the controls and asked me what I wanted to do. I suggested circling Mount Baker. The controls were easy and smooth, even to my uncoordinated touch. I directed the plane to the right and suddenly we were pulling 3 Gs as we banked. Grouch quickly took back control of the jet.

Given a second chance, I put the aircraft in a dive. Grouch, ever understanding, grabbed the controls again.

My third time was lucky, and I was able to complete most of a flight around Mount Baker.

Next up was actually having me fly the jet.

Tom Cruise I was not. But when we landed back at the airport, at least I could say my puke bag was still empty.

The day before, I sat in a simulator and tried to do just that. The first time I tried to land on an aircraft carrier in the simulator

Elgin Penner and the holy grail:

Continued from the August Patrician: ALASKA AIRLINES 'MAIDEN' FLIGHT cont.

Oshkosh 2016!

A total of 10 Alaska Airlines pilots were aboard the flight. Carolyn Riewdel of Fond du Lac says, “I came to AirVenture every year as a teenager and used to sell ice cream here. The reason I became a pilot is because of this air show. It’s kind of nice to be able to fly in now on a 737.” She credits her mother, EAA member Dianne Witte, with encouraging her with a passion for aviation in both her and her sister Crissy, who is now a Delta Air Lines pilot.

Submitted by Elgin Penner, VFC Member

Among all the planes there, the CG-Galaxy was the largest. Designed and built by Lockheed (now Lockheed Martin), this plane is the military's "Heavy Hauler." Known as the largest military aircraft in the entire world, this beast can take off in only 8,400 ft and can carry 270,000 lbs for a distance of 2,400 NM and at a height of 35,000 ft.

Truly this thing is a marvel.

BC REPRESENTS! Another special occasion was seeing our very own BC-owned and operated Coulson Flying Tankers' Martin Mars. Based in Sproat Lake BC, when the Mars was in service, it could be called up at any time to go fight forest fires, dumping 7,200 US gallons at a time. By using a spotter plane, a truck on the ground for maintenance and repair, and a motor home for the crew, this Tanker was ready to tackle the worst of the worst. Originally built in 1945 for the US Navy Transport, this flying machine has defeated the odds and continues to survive.

THE BOOTHS Among the thousands of booths to visit at EAA, I did make a special effort to stop at ForeFlight's. For those of you who dont know, ForeFlight is a tool for navigation, flight planning, WX briefing, IFR High and Low Navigation, VNC, VTA, CFS, CARS, Weight and Balance, and much more, all in one! If you have not been using this app yet, it is time you

start. There are many free or cheaper versions of the app out there, but there is only one app that has "got it right." With new advancements in electronic charts, GPS tracking, electronic logbooks, online endorsements, and rating signoffs, ForeFlight can do this all. Need that one signature to make your rating valid? No problem! Send your logbook to your instructor, and he can sign you off so you are now legal to go flying! Cutting edge technology at its best.

Another favorite booth was where I got to put my hands on the yoke of the worlds largest Redbird Simulator mockup. I felt like a kid in a candy store!

Now, my dear readers, as we are all Proud Canadians, it is my pleasure to tell you about the best and last portion of my EAA AirVenture 2016 experience: the Canadian Snowbirds. This was the first time in 35 years that the Snowbirds have performed in Oshkosh. It was a great pleasure to see them performing there once again. Being a fellow serving Canadian Military man, it was with pride that I could truly say that the Snowbirds and I were "Brothers in Arms." They treated us to close formation flying, flying straight towards each other, and even doing a formation with smoke that represented the Canadian maple leaf (aka the Canadian Burst), as well as many tricks more!

The next day we packed up, flew back to KDLH, filed my eAPIS, checked WX, borrowed the crew car to go to McDonalds, and then flew to 48Y where we cleared customs to go to our final destination and the ending of the best four days of my life with my Father and friends.

If you ever happen to wonder where I am every year during the last week of July, take a moment and remember where *every pilot* should be at the end of July every year. Every year there is something different to see and get inspired by! I hope to see you there one day. It is always a remarkable experience! Thank you for now, and keep the blue side up!
