It's been a season of high flying and high notes on the West Block.
Over the course of the last 10 months, MPs from all sides of the House of Commons have agreed to take a flight over Ottawa with show host Tom Clark in his Cessna 172 Skyhawk.
Sometimes the talk turned to serious subjects, like when Liberal MP Seamus O'Regan discussed his stint in rehab or when the NDP's Nathan Cullen talked about the high price of party leadership.

Landings with faulty gear are common and almost always uneventful but a Canadian seaplane pilot found himself in an unusual predicament. The gear on the amphib floats on Paul Armstrong's Cessna 206 only partly deployed so he was caught between a wet and a hard place. Landing on water would have flipped the aircraft because some of the wheels were down. Landing on concrete would have had the same result because some of the wheels were still tucked in the floats.

 Many would argue that the air ambulance industry in the U.S. is economically irrational and unsustainable. Too many helicopters, flying too few hours, charging patients whatever they like and a political backlash not far in the distance. The question is, what can we do about it? The linchpin of the current situation is the Airline Deregulation Act, legislation that was never intended to govern the air ambulance industry but has been misapplied by the Department of Transportation.

If you're a reader of current events — and these days, who isn't? — you can't have missed the recent seismic news about the U.K.'s vote to exit the European Union. It's easy to compartmentalize that as being "over there" with little or no impact on the U.S. Pardon me, but I don't think so, although no one knows for sure what the long-term effects will be. The Dow took a hardy three-point tumble, wiping out a year of gains. We'll see if it shakes off the worries and recovers some ground on Monday.

Forty years ago, on the nation's bicentennial, President Gerald Ford declared the newly opened National Air and Space Museum a "perfect birthday present from the American people to themselves."
