U.S. and Canadian authorities are rightfully spooked following a plane crash in Ontario, Canada. What's got them shook? There's absolutely no trace than anybody actually went down with the plane, sparking one of the weirdest mysteries of the year so far.
The alleged "ghost plane" was a rented Cessna 172 based out of Michigan, which went down into the snow near the north shore of Lake Superior around 11:30 p.m. near Marathon, Ontario, according to AVweb.com.

The 155 Borden Gray Air Cadet Squadron's 75th Anniversary Weekend, to be held May 5 through May 7 in Sault Ste. Marie, will be one that brings back many memories for two members of a well-known local family.
Five brothers — Raymond (Ray), Robert (Bob), Bryan, Clifford and Clyde Healey — took their turns serving with the 155 Squadron between 1949 and 1965.
Clyde, the only Healey brother who still resides in Sault Ste. Marie, said he joined the cadets to become a squadron band member.

Ottawa At Home
Peter Trobridge left behind a successful career in high tech in 2007, and was looking for a fresh challenge when a chance encounter on a golf course set him on a new path.
A mechanical engineering technologist by training, Peter started a conversation with a group of men at an Ottawa-area golf tournament who turned out to be volunteers for Project North Star, a program which helps the Canada Aviation and Space Museum to restore the lone surviving military Canadair C54-GM – also known as the North Star.

Manitoulin Expositor
Manitoulin Transport pilot Wade Cook is looking to make the best of his newfound Island home and all that it, and he, has to offer — including the Gore Bay Western Manitoulin Airport.
Mr. Cook, after flying over Manitoulin thousands of times in his life as a commercial pilot, explained that he had never given the island far below much thought during those trips, except when he decided to answer a pilot-wanted ad for Manitoulin Transport.

Humans have dreamed of flight for hundreds — if not thousands — of years. And today is no different from centuries ago. Want proof? BBC Culture's Fiona Macdonald wrote a marvelous story about the making of the book, "Aeronautics in the Backyard."
"He [Zhang Dousan] retrieved an engine from the wreckage of a light aircraft destroyed in a typhoon, and in 1998, the first plane he built flew continuously for 500 km. It was a light two-seater aircraft with a 6 m-long frame, and Zhang wrote 'I'm from Chaozhou. No striving, no win!' on the aerofoil."

Plane & Pilot
There's a new G1000 in town, G1000 NXi. And while the name might imply a minor upgrade to the legendary flat-panel system, nothing could be further from the truth. NXi is a new ballgame.
Since its introduction a decade ago in the Cessna Citation Mustang and Skyhawk, Garmin's seminal flat-panel avionics suite has become the de facto standard in aircraft avionics, commanding a huge market share among owner-flown airplanes from two-seaters to light jets.

Cargair, the school that was training two pilots who crashed mid-air over a South Shore mall, does not think mechanical problems, the weather or language barriers were factors in the accident.
The students — both from China — were studying to be airline pilots. One of them died, the other was seriously injured. There were no passengers on the planes, both of which had taken off from the nearby St-Hubert Airport.
One of the planes ended up in Promenades Saint-Bruno’s parking lot, the other on the mall’s roof.

According to author Rick Durden: A while ago I had a long, interesting discussion on the topic of preparing for inflight emergencies with a pilot whose day job was as a surgeon who trained surgeons. He had an interesting perspective on the subject based on how he taught aspiring cutters: He had them sit down and write down everything that could go wrong during an upcoming operation and then set out what should be done to deal with each anomaly. He asked whether flight instructors engaged in such a practice.
