Sorry - don't know much aboot Canuck flying!! But what did we in the military ever do to upset you Canucks and deserve Gander and Goose bl**dy Bay!! It has always mystified me why anyone having crossed the pond hundreds of years ago and bumped their boat into North America should turn right towards the snow and Christmas trees rather than left towards the sun!! But you guys have often flown in some utterly dreadful conditions very safely - so you must be doing something right, eh?
Wrote this before reading JJ's post. Cool down dude, I'm sure that there are well trained pilots everywhere in the world - it's just that the small and statistically insignificant number of students - NOT INSTRUCTORS - trained in a certain part of the world who I have personally flown with haven't been well trained. There could well be many others who have. And, just for the record, I was once given an excellent briefing on US rules and procedures by a US instructor at Space Center Executive!!
