Guilty. Leaving Phil's airfield in Buttonville a few years ago I had failed to secure my upper lock. Not far to the home field but NO WAY was I going to be able to latch it in flight. Now I do Phil's triple checks !

This disproves the 'no old bold pilots' theory..... !

Heard an ATC recording out of LaGuardia between Tower and a British Airways 'speedbird' as he wished the BA flight a 'happy treason day' ! Laughed out loud :p

such an impact in his life. Bravo !

Oh....dreaming about a fly-in !!! :p Can't wait to do it and we will do it......:cool: And Phil, I think one in Burlington unless that gear-up a couple of months ago is repairable...

Ahhhh..... you live in both worlds and get to fly between them !! :cool: Once you change KTAN to a CXXX you are IN !

Hi Wayne, quite a few (by Commander standards) here in Ontario C-FFOM is owned by Rod, Peter and I and is out of Kitchener ( 112 s/n 27 ) Phil Lightstone has a Commander in Buttonville (there are two there) Peter Milojevic has one in Chatham Grant Innes has one at Toronto Island Dave Nusca has...

even worse.... Just a lowly ol' 112.....but a strange one with no birth records on s/n 27 ! Based on a few of the serial number plates on parts around the airplane I wonder if it was a flight tester or a 111 that they hung gear on....we still love Oscar Mike :-) !

In our lowly 112A it is usually 'Fox Oscar Mike - Toronto Centre - hurry up and get going' but we do smile a lot on the journey :D

Thats how copper wire was invented. Fighting over a penny :cool:

Hey, once the border is open I will meet you guys there. Fiorentino's is fantastic. My wife grew up in Lancaster and Oscar Mike has adorned that (free to park) apron !

Hi John, have you looked up at the antenna mount to see if it is broken or if it is just a radial that pulled out ? Do you have any Ham Radio buddies ? That is a 1940's era VHF 1/4 wave antenna that a short proper length steel rod could replace for a few bucks. I see the cost of them new and...

Hi Carl, any chance you have a tracking number for the tail light cover ? Things are taking 40 or so days to make it between anywhere and the other place so I want to see if I can track. Thanks, Tony

AH no I think I screwed up and you do need the maintenance manual. Sorry

Hi Charlie, you will want the PARTS manual for the electrical diagrams. Go fetch it here from my OneDrive https://1drv.ms/b/s!Ami4ezud4qEAhYRZIXlQPt-XDyeWCQ?e=LWW7ig Cheers, Tony

Hi Richard, what serial number (or current registration) is the airframe you purchased ?

None other known.

Sorry about that. Yes, our s/n 27 is in that old 'we built them one piece at a time' where I imagine they were still figuring things out considering the array of interesting parts and pieces we have on our aircraft that are factory original AND the fact that there appears to be absolutely zero...

Jared, I would reach out to Jim or Martine at Aerodyme. The collars do not exist for our 112s but I believe they do for the 114.
