Landed at Edmonton International
We circled for about 15 minutes north of the airport while we waited for a landing spot, without being too close, to the 737 and Dash 8 traffic.
Year: 2013

22 – We picked North Battleford because it was about 1/2 way to Edmonton and had 24 hour fuel
On final for 06 at North Battleford SK. Lots of aerial spraying and 24 hour fuel.

21 – Flying around another shower, just outside North Battleford SK
You can see Tom in the upper right. North Battleford is just behind the showers.

Yorkton SK. Lounge and washrooms.

19 – Yorkton SK. We had wheels up at 5:50 am so we could beat the weather to Edmonton
Leading Edge Aviation in Yorkton were again very helpful. A couple of phone calls and there was a crew car available to us so we stayed the night. You have to love the aviation community!

18 – More great landscape
I was flying low and it reminded me of an IMAX movie, as the landscape rolled under our wings. The only thing missing was the music!

17 – Interesting landscape between Brandon and Yorkton SK.
I really don’t know what all the shapes are? Does anyone?

16 – We landed in Brandon at 17:05.
It was great that the guys from the Brandon Flying Club stayed to give us fuel and open their facilities to us. Very friendly and helpful! They had a crew car that we could use […]

Some people think the prairies are boring…but as you can see some of the shapes are great!

14 – The two Rebels resting at Piney
The weather is gradually getting better as we go. Still a little bumpy but no more showers. Next stop Brandon.

13 Piney is very unique. You land and go to the Customs office depending on which direction your’e flying..
The runway is half in Canada and half in the US.

12 – It’s getting better the closer we get to Canada
I was flying along with the window open and as Tom said on the radio “Have I told you how happy I am to be here today!” Just great!

10 still had to fly around some isolated showers on the way to Piney
Isolated thunderstorm in northern Minnesota, it was a little rough but still beautiful.

09 – Flying northwest from McGregor to Piney MN
An almost perfectly round lake, you can only think that it might have been a meteorite.
