Vancouver BizCards: West Coast Air

I ran across West Coast Air at the SOHO conference this year. I thought they were very friendly and deserved a little support in light of all the complaints from residents. Float planes provide a great service which has been around years and years longer than any residents living near the water close to the areas where planes take off and land.
Just thought I'd add an oblique plug for West Coast Air. Our home is right on the harbour runway and has been here since 1910, longer than the floatplanes by far. There are many older homes in the vicinity. It's not just the homes on the waterfront that get the noise and fumes from the floatplanes. We are all drenched by aircraft fuel fumes quite often. That can't be healthy. However, we would like to commend West Coast Air for quieter take-offs than their major competitor. We appreciate their lack of bone-jarring noise, relatively speaking.
