the thing about fanshawe is
Im always close to CYXU. Which means if JAM needs me to move things around or anything im usually driving round the area where JAM is. I met a guy whos just joined in the last few months who flies out of Discovery Air which is on Huron St where it extends past XU aviation. All they have stored in the hanger is C-FPWB which is a Cesna Citation 505 i think.
He says if they need to ferry the jet over to CYCE Huron Centrailia and she says he wants to allow me to fly with him. I gave him my email and phone number so just in case he wants to fly with me he can.
School os going good so far and there's now only 13 going on 12 weeks left...
The only thing that bugs me about CYXU is that there's no proper place to watch planes come in. You cant spend alot of time on final to RWY 15 because of traffic. But you can spend as long as you want at final to RWY 33 because there's not alot of traffic going on creamery road.
The grass needs to be cut and hasnt been touched in 4 or 5 years. Id love to cut grass there just to make others happy in watching planes...
anyways if you have any comment please feel free to join the Southwestern Ontario Aviation Boards or SWOAB for short at http://swoa.freeforums.com

great weekend...
I had a blast this past weekend at the kithchener waterloo aviation expo. I got to hang out with a few new people i had only met at the last JAM meeting. if you dont know what jam is, heres what it is.
The JET AIRCRAFT MUSEUM (JAM) exists to create and maintain a dynamic and living history of the modern age Royal Canadian Air Force and to provide permanent honour for those valiant Canadian men and women who flew these aircraft with distinction in periods of war, peace, and peace keeping.
JAM is a not for profit foundation that has as its primary purposes the acquisition, display, preservation, maintenance and, most importantly, providing in flight demonstrations for the people of Canada now and for generations to come. The JAM mission is to combine the creation and operation of museum housing: aircraft, historical artifacts, records, and salient memorabilia, while simultaneously keeping representative historic aircraft in the air whenever and wherever major aviation events are held across Canada and at appropriate international centres.
The Museum has been granted charitable status by the Canada Revenue Agency.
The model for the establishment of JAM is the immensely successful Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association (CHAA), which was created in 1986 and has preserved, trained pilots for, and flown and continues to fly this legendary Air force training aircraft at important aviation events in both Canada and the U.S. It is significant that the founder of CHAA and many of its senior volunteer members are among the founding leadership of JAM.
The ultimate objective of the Museum is to have one or more flyable versions of major jet aircraft used by Canada’s armed forces since we entered the military jet age in 1944. These include Canada’s first, the Vampire, the CT-133 T-Bird, CT-114 Tutor and others.
One significant opportunity has already materialized. The acquisition of six T-Bird aircraft have been purchased from the Government of Canada and favourable financing has already been established to facilitate this acquisition. This two seater jet trainer, Canadian built by Canadair in Montreal was the workhorse trainer for Canada’s Armed Forces for some 50 years. JAM anticipates that the T-Bird will be its main in-the-air demonstration aircraft until the Tutors become available in 2012 and/or when circumstances permit acquisition of other aircraft.
Meanwhile, equally important, a suitable home for the T Birds and other aircraft as they are acquired has been established at the London, Ontario International Airport.
Once acquired, the Museum plans ground and aircrew training programs and the establishment of rigorous maintenance, service, safety and operational control procedures.
The Museum offers full voting membership to everyone interested in preserving Canada’s noble jet age heritage. Governance is provided by a Board of Directors and officers.
JAM is supported by the CANADIAN T-BIRD AIRCRAFT MUSEUM FOUNDATION. All inquiries for the Foundation can be made by contacting Bob Hewitt at rhewitt@xplornet.com
The Canada Revenue Agency has started an initiative to educate donors who may wish to give to a charity. They have now a DONOR WEB SITE called Giving To Charity: Information to Donors which can be reached at http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/donors/
I helped paint the Tug that should be in the images section soon on the website.
I hung out with a new friend of mine named Dave Kreutzkamp who is the graphic designer for JAM and can help me im sure with photoshop stuff. As well as being just an aviation buddy i find hes such a nice guy. I find hes doing a good job for JAM as well.
As for me, im in alot of frequent pain this morning, couldnt sleep because my wisdom tooth was acting up and went to the dentist this morning and he said i have an absessed tooth and my right wisdom tooth is about ready for coming out so im sitting here on the computer with an icepack and checking emails and blogging...i have an appointment in woodstock at 1pm to take a look at the abessesed tooth..
later days..

FAVE Aircraft!!
For most out there they have their favorite Boeing or airbus aircraft in which they love to see fly or at least fly them virtually. Most like the 757 or 767 because its a long range aircraft that are a lot like what they are as well.
But for me i love only one series of planes is the 737 and as i do like the 700 series plane, one of the early 737-200's is what i like. Even though I've never flown one in real life i have like a few hundred hours flying them virtually for virtual westjet.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v210/66chargerfan/FS2004/DARREN-2005-oct-11-001.jpg
Although i don't know what most people say about them i do know that i think that they say its too small i need a bigger plane. But i say its the most beautiful plane in the history of Boeing itself.
If i had like 5 billion extra in my pocket id buy it but all i can do now is dream about owning one, painting it up and putting it in the field. It would be my own Learjet. Whenever i wanted to go somewhere else like Europe i could just hop in my jet and head off. its loud when you take off so id storm all the airports and do flypasts.
In the back of the plane id store my more private plane, a 1966 Dodge Coronet that is just a normal car untill the wings fold out and turns into a private plane i can use to get into remote areas.
I could lock the plane the same way you would remotely lock a car with the 2 beeps. Id have staff that would fly with me to fix the plane whenver it needed fixing.
that is all...go 737-200!!
Thanks Boeing you make good airplanes!!

slept through a virtual flight
Went to bed about 6 hours ago in the middle of a virtual westjet flight and woke up being like 900 miles from where i was supposed to land at CYYC calgary.
So i closed flight sim and now im waiting at the CYXU aiport ready to fly privatelty this morning to maybe calgaty but it probably wont be. Im flying in the eDimensional Boeing 737-200.
i bought a book the other day on amazon about the Boeing 737-200 so it will gice me somnething to read ad i canrt seem to get any further into the harry potter book. This one may last all summer before i get to finish it.
I had a massage on friday in st marys at heal a peel and my stiff legs are now very soft and i can feel it. I might go for one again this week just to soften them up more..
im curios on the name chage of my blog changing it to living in embro or ontario now and may lose the traffic i have already had...i dunno...i want to because im not living in banff anymore and im living in ontario...oh well...
talk to you later...

living in ontario now?
ive had the thought this past week to change the name of my blog to living in ontario now or living in embro now..but i like the name of the blog so much ill keep it as what it is wether its in banff or anywhere else...
re-installed flight sim this week because when i used to load it up there wouild be an error saying something about anchor.bgl (anchorage?) so i was getting frustrated by it and thought it had to go...and copied all the airports and all the planes to my hard drive so when it reinstalls i dont have to lose all those files....
except for the 732.gau acting up its running faster and faster...
ttyl...

back to flight sim
Ive had my computer put into the shop in woodstock for the last week or so...and yesterday i got my computer back and am enjoying the new screen i got as well its an 18.5 in monitor, was only really 1.5 in from what i had but takes up less space..
As i write this im flying from Vancouver to Saskatoon in the 737-200 of CP Air (Virtual). Im about 600 nm from saskatoon. Im flying on autopilot which ive been testing myself to be able to operate and get knowing about it. The autopilot back in those days are nopt like those of these days when all you have to do is dial in the altitude to what altitude you want or what heading before you get to that altitutd....no you have to do it manually...of course it will hold when you tell it too theres just no button to hold it and let it get you there without trouble.
I love the 737-200.

how long have you been on hotmail?
Hey everyone hows your day happy canada day to everyone.
I want to ask everyone out there how long you have been on hotmail or had an account..I have been on there for 10 years this september. I cant believe that its been 10 years already...wow...where has the time gone...??
The other issue i want to bring up is a comparison between a regular mastercard or a pre-paid mastercard.
Pre-Paid MC:
I prefer the pre-paid only because there is no dealing with having to pay back all you spent that month. All you have to do is put money on it and it will take a day or two to process (in my case its 3 days).
Regular MC: Its fun that you can have money on the go, but wouldnt you rather have to not pay the monthly payback thing every month? I have never had a normal mastercard so i have no idea what its like but i hear its ok to have to pay back everything you have bought. Wouldnt you like having the peace of mind to have the ability to load your card with money instead of having money on it?
If you like the pre paid mastercard idea go to nextwavetitanium.com and chack it out...its only 20 dollars and very handy. the only problem i find is that it takes 3 days to transfer any amount of money from any financial institution..
thats all....september 10th ill go out and celebrate ive been on hotmail 10 years...

its like a merging of usernames..
when i started becomimg more of having a presence of being on the internet i used a swell number of usernames/aliases i used. At the time about 2003 i had so many that i wasnt sure what i would do with all of them...most were on yahoo and the one that stuck out in my mind was ford8nguy. It was one i used on all ford 8n websites that i was using like nseries.com and a few others.
After my interest in ford 8ns died out (still love them) but another type of interest caught my eye. It was muscle cars. I always loved muscle cars since i was about 13 or 14 and really didnt have a favorite untill i saw a pic and the sound of the engine online. It was the most beautiful car ive ever seen in my life..bigger than any of the other muscle cars. It was the 1966 Dodge Charger. So since i was only a fan of the 66, it was obvious the name 66chargerfan was a good username that i could come up with. in fact alot of things i was doing online was using 66chargerfan for any forum or website.
in about that time i was learning how to play guitar and so i created a username i only used for a few sites called acousticsoul. it didnt last long...i only used it for about 9 months then i got rid of it but if you search acousticsoul "darren elliott" youll find that there are a few old websites that i havent visited since 03 or 04. Then....
Then i really didnt have one for my guitar very much until i thought about how my old idol at the time had an old nickname where he added the word vox which i believe is a word meaning voice. And so i have not the best voice in the world i decided to use my name and add vox to it hence darrenvox was born. This is one i use for everything and will be my primary username for anything and everything and i will eventually get rid of 66chargerfan and acousticsoul by asking if admins of forums can change my username to darrenvox and so far a few have and that is my project for the next few weeks....
thats all

that took all of what...5 minutes?
Hello blogging world. I just thought id update my website because i thought it would be a good time to do something with it.
While i was doing some afternoon lawn cutting i thought maybe tomorrow sometime i would take screenshots of the social media websites i am on (ie facebook myspace etc). Then i would crop them to make thumbnails. I figured while i was cutting that it would take me like an hour or so. But i loaded up safari and found the best view of all the social sites i have and took a screenshot with the program i use with flightsim called snapper (ovosoft.com/snapper). I then loaded up photoshop 6.0 and instead of cropping them i reduced the size from 80x600 to 100x75. Then i uploaded all of the pictures to my tripod account and put them with links to their pages on my contact page.
The contact page that i had alread had, was a form, my email, and links to my blog and forum. Now they are thumbnails that you can click on instead of some link. I have a few more to do as in the forum and dailybooth and all that....
you can find my website at darrenelliottmusic.tripod.com

CTNotify.exe Problem on startup
It hasnt affected me much in the last few months but just recently i thought id get the disk detetor working on my machine again. And then recently i loaded up my computer the other day and it gave me a error message something about kernel32.dll so i searched the computer for it and then didnt seem to see it and then searched the web and downloaded it to replace the file but now its not working so well and the error comes up every time i load my windows xp computer.
Its not a big deal im just trying to get things back to the way they were years ago so when i do sell it and it probably wont happed in the next 20 years cause im attached to this computer but if i do sell it i want it back kinda the way i got it. The disc detector was working when i first got this computer on bursary at college.
Its an Aopen PC-1 Computer
Windows XP
55GB Ram
gEforce2 400 MMX
if anyone could lead me to how to get rid of this error...do i have to reinstall it or find a new version of it??
thanks!!!

Fuck IE!! Safari has all i need!!
hi guys feeling much happier now and moving on with my life i havent got the time anymore to sit around to wait. I havent really started finding anyone yet because i just dont know, im a loser and got nothing to do anymore but play driver paralell lines on the wii.
<-----
no one has asked on youtube or on here what my
webcam looks like and not too many really care but for those who have wondered what im using for my videos and they are pretty good videos (quality wise) it is actually better than my dads 40 dollar webcam which is alot of static...mine has alot of static but im ok with it. I bought it for 15 bucks at a surplus store in london ontario...ZSMC 211 is the model number...probably 10-15 years old because zsmc doesnt exist anymore.
I pulled an all nighter last night and most of the night to early dawn i watched a made-for-tv- movie called "monster island". Even though most of the monsters were obviously fake the love story was brilliant. Id give this movie about a 3/10 for the horror it gave me which is zero. 12/10 for the kinda good love story.
Its 3:33am on friday may 22. Ill probably be sleeping all day.....which is like the kiss song i want rock and roll all night and sleep everyday.
If you can believe me i have never had windows office higher than 2000 on my computer. I barely ever use it but when i do its just hard to use. I might take my computer in and get it tuned up and put some ram or rom in it.
about the IE thing i find IE slow loading and too much toolbars and stuff. safari has all i need and keeps it clean. I also like firefox but cant get the youtube (upgrade-to-the-next-flash-player) problem fixed...so im sticking with safari...whatever happened to netscape...i remember using it in high school and havent heard much of it since.
i havent done a blog like this in ages and its a good way to get it off my chest. I used to blog only like this but now i dont because i have other things to do than sleep..speaking of sleep good night!!
i found my dads old Minlota XG1 and cant wait to see if it still works...
5/15/2009
its over between me and her friendship wise
So april 14th at 8 has come and gone and I no longer am in love or do not want to think about her im on to bigger and better things...I had removed her a while ago from facebook and then after 8pm on april 14 I removed all of our mutual friends (all the friends I know and she knows)...so I wont want to hear about her anymore.
