I moving to Canada, the United States has rules just about on everything.
Do they still sell laquer paint in Canada and Mercury batteries? The USA is
always looking for a way to make money.
I guess the United States has strict laws about people entering the cockpit
for obvious safety reasons. I am amazed Canada allows customers to enter
their cockpit while the A/C is in flight.
Thanks Sam....
