I am a Canadian Airline Pilot with over 25 years of flying experience.  I have flown in some pretty crazy ass places all over North America and into Canada's high arctic.  I have been stalked by polar bears, had kamikaze bald eagles dive bomb my plane when I flew floats out of Northern Manitoba, Canada, and flew some crappy planes we were made to fly or someone else would.  I have been shot at by people we were there to help as a paramedic pilot. I flew planes out of hurricanes, heavy icing, around big ass thunderstorms, onto sand dunes, ice, snow and water.  I saw some pretty amazing things in the air like 5 full circle rainbows all joined together coming out of 5 small rain clouds in Northern Alberta, Canada, and other things no pilot would ever report.  I was offered jobs to fly all over the world (Dubia, Japan, China, USA, USAF, CAF).  I was offered a job to fly the A-10 (which I should have done, but my wife and father, who is also a pilot had other ideas for me).   I did get to fly for 1.5 hrs an F-16 Simulator for the 179th FS out of Minnesota quite a few years ago, before 9/11.  That was amazing!

Here are some videos from some of my favorite planes, some I flew and some I wish I flew.  Enjoy. 

Check out this fantastic documentary on one of my favorite airplanes, the A-6 Intruder.  I would have loved to have been able to fly one of these.  

It is an all weather attack aircraft capable of bombing any target anywhere.   

The Grumman A-6 Intruder is a twin engine aircraft operated by a crew of 2, a pilot and his RIO (Radar Intercept Officer).  It saw service from (1963-1997) Vietnam to the late 1990's and was used in Desert Storm.   

Check out the book and the movie, Flight of the Intruder by Stephen Coonts.  I highly recommend both!
