There’s lots of reflection in the picture, but I thought I would share it anyway.

We flew off to the north while we waited for traffic to clear. Atlin – CYSQ – is 2348, therefore circuit height is 3300′. There is one gravel runway 18-36.

The good news – no surprise! At 6000′ we were just below the peaks. It was a little bumpy and there was more COPA Air Tour traffic, than we usually encounter, so it was important […]

Tom and Ann Inglis lead the way in QD, near Teslin at about 4500′ We are about to turn left and climb to 6000 as we head to Surprise Lake and Atlin. Even though the […]

Collection of Aircraft Watson Lake. We will spend two nights here.    

Turning final 09 at Watson Lake Yukon. At last count there was 34 airplanes that have arrived during the course of the day. Lots of history here.

Just Past Munch Lake – We were flying about 5000′ here. I’m sure some of the locals land on these plateaus.
