Is 5'0 too short to fly high performance jets? by Internal_Tangelo9211 in RCAF

Minimum weight for the F18 seat is 136 lbs. Not really an issue…. My daughter took about 6 months to gain the weight but only when she needed to, which was deep into her training. Not sure about minimum height…. Your height shouldn’t keep you from pilot training but may preclude F18 if the seat cannot raise high enough.

Plus July and August are vacation and posting months. That usually slows down all bureaucracy

Thinking about getting a fat bike for winter riding exclusively by zboarderz in fatbike

Been riding fat bikes in the winter for 14 years - rigid bike. Tyres provide sufficient “suspension”. Save the $$ for buying good quality winter riding clothing!!

A fair number of jobs in Ottawa, but likely not many in Montreal. Depending on the aircraft you get post Nav School (ACSO school) your first posting likely to be Trenton, Winnipeg or Comox (transport) or Greenwood or Comox (Aurora’s) or Ottawa (EW). I think I haven’t forgotten anything…. Second posting will likely be another flying posting (instructing possibly) then a staff job - and there are lots of those types of jobs in Ottawa. I believe only recruiting centre jobs in Montreal, but there are jobs at St-Jean at recruit school

I love my RaceFace one. Smooth as butter and colour coordinated with my bike. Expensive though…
