Actual article headline: Peep-show pilot finds unusual landing strip

Now THAT is dedication.

Now they're telling you where you can and can't park?

I'm glad to be an American and not a Canadian.

In Quebec it's difficult to NOT land beside a strip club.

Peep-show pilot finds unusual landing strip

Maybe it was unusual based on what had landed there. Was he flying a Beaver? Nothing like a good solid Beaver for those Canadian bush pilots.

Do you need a pilots license to fly an ultralight in Canada? Here in the States you do not... Canada couldn't pull what the guy didn't have.

You know. When planning on doing things like this, a lot of embarrassment could have been saved if the guy simply asked himself "is it a good idea to land in a parking lot?". Find some lengthy field without fence rows, and just walk to the strip club..

If landing your ultralight to drink and stare at naked women is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Le Rendez-Vous is a great name for a strip club, even if it is in Quebec where they all can translate that name XD

When he left the bar, did he take off, eh?

From what I've heard of Montreal strip clubs they are well worth landing a plane for. A trucker friend loved runs to Montreal!

THIS.

Unless they want to attempt a reckless endangerment criminal charge, the worst that I would think they could do would be to confiscate the ultralight craft. If he was drinking and above the legal limit perhaps they could get him on DUI for the distance he needed to take off, but since it's not a licensed or legal road-going vehicle and since he did it all on private property they might even have trouble making that stick.

On another, somewhat unrelated note, in Arizona, in order to ride an ATV, dune buggy, or dirt bike on public land, even in offroad environments, one now has to register the vehicle with Motor Vehicles and receive (and display) a form of license plate. It's a way to collect revenue. Some could argue that the money is to help with the damage done to public land by the offroad vehicles, but given the bureaucracy I doubt that any coin actually reaches such restoration projects. I wouldn't be surprised if Arizona started requiring a similar registration for ultralight aircraft that operate here, but it's possible that Federal rules don't allow the state to do that. If such a thing did happen, and if ultralight aircraft were forced to have some sort of license plate, that could actually make DUI enforcement easier against an ultralight pilot that had been drinking at a strip club here in AZ.

This thread needs hot Canadian lady pictures, stat!

/would oblige but is Farking from work

//has a pretty chill job, but not THAT chill

Thats called a MHR, Mile High Refill.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Good one!

It could have been a false landing.

Okay, that beats out the guys who landed their planes here on Lake Calhoun to go get lunch (new window) a couple winters back.

costermonger: moike: Do you need a pilots license to fly an ultralight in Canada? Here in the States you do not... Canada couldn't pull what the guy didn't have.

Yes, you need a license for an ultralight here.

Makes sense then... Here in the States any moron can buy an ultralight and with no training at all turn themselves into a human lawn-dart.

God forbid you hit a duck on the way down out of season... Fish and Game will ticket your smouldering corpse.

Depends on what you classify as an ultralight. What a lot of people would think is an ultralight is actually an LSA. If this was a true ultralight (single seat, empty weight of

Bah, didn't finish my comment.

Csb. I was out flying my RC plane one day and had a real helicopter fly up behind me and land. Which scared the shiat out of me as I was quite focused on what I was doing. Turned out the heli pilot saw our porto john and had to take a piss really bad.

Canada. World famous for the skills of its "bush" pilots.

I once landed my glider (plane without an engine) on a cornfield next to a road in prep for putting it on the trailer and taking it back to the airport - a perfectly routine procedure. Police arrived after about 20 minutes because someone had reported the 'crash'.

The next day I was amused to read in the newspaper that I was in the hospital due to my injuries in the 'crash'.

/apparently, reporters arrived after we left, and having no facts, decided to make some up.

Should he have not done that?

This should be one of the clips they use in the "most interesting man in the world" commercials.

I was doing some R/C slope soaring off Highway 1 just up from Santa Cruz here (new window) which while technically a runway I'd never seen a plane land there, ever. The spot is popular with hang gliders and R/C gliders. About a 200 foot drop to the beach below and constant strong winds.

I had my glider up, and this low wing four seater single engine aircraft kept buzzing by at about cliff level. So I brought my glider down and stepped back off the gravel and dirt that could be called a 'runway'. The plane flipped around, dropped out of sight below the cliff on approach, and popped up at the last second to set down right on the end of the runway and taxi up to where I was.

The pilot and a couple others got out. I walked over astonished and said, "Sir, I don't know what kind of drugs you run... but I'm sure your clientele is absolutely thrilled with your delivery since I've -never- seen anybody land a plane here."

The take off was just as spectacular.

He probably assumed it was a landing strip club.

Am I really the first one to think of Burt Reynolds reading this?
