Mine's easy--my best friend coined it when he saw me drive during university days. What else are you going to call a blonde-haired guy who drives so fast :-:

(perhaps not blonde any more but I never got the speed out of my system . . .)

At the time I registered with FT, I was a Gold member with the CP's FF program. I initially thought about considering my pseudonym only as FlyerGold - but I added II - which represented the second tier of CP's tier status' .

Just a question.. Is YHZ the long time home or the recent retirement home airport?
Thanks for the welcome, Parnel. Born in Quebec, but lived in Ontario, Manitoba, Newfoundland, and New Brunswick before moving to Nova Scotia 22 years ago. It may seem odd, but I think we'll probably move back to "Upper Canada" when my wife retires in a few years. We'll be closer to family there.

I'm here to remind AB320 that his jets hit the skids also but in their new domain they still cannot make the playoffs...........CH was stolen by Switzerland to copy a winning formula

Hey, NF don't drink too much wine there we need some of that good stuff in Canada. Have a Poire William for me tonight...that puts hair on your chest.

Plenty of wine to go around in these parts, no worries parnel, I'll make sure a few bottles stay ear-marked for export to Oakville !

As for your choice of digestif, I'll try to fit it in to tonight's menu !

BTW, nice flight on 870 YUL-CDG last night, arriving about 30 minutes early; good service in J ^ ^

One of my youth dreams was to run an 800m under 2mn.
Now that I moved on to running marathons that will never happen.
However, I still entertain that goal with my name.

It was indeed last weekend I think; I'm just here for a pit-stop on the way to Lyon. We drove the 3.5 hours from CDG to Beaune this morning after getting off the plane; breaks the trip up nicely; only an easy 2 hours to go tomorrow morning.

Food & beverage are plentiful in these parts

I was a lurker for the longest time. The first time I posted was for an urgent question, and I couldn't think of a cool name to save my life...
