Trans-Canada Adventure Leg 4
Posted: Thu Sep 04, 2003 11:24 amHello All,
I continued my adventure and left Winnipeg, Manitoba and carried on to Thunder Bay, Ontario. It was nice to get into some scenery that was half decent to enjoy along the way.
Surprisingly, this leg of the trip was very remote! Along the route there was only one little airstrip that I came accross, other then that it was just lakes!
Once, again AI traffic was able to give me a surprise that required me to do some "sky dancing" to avoid kissing the backend of a couple airliners. You will notice in screen shot # 9 that out of nowhere I had about 20 AI planes all around me! One minute there was none and then next minute BAM! I was swerving around them like pylons!
Destination for Leg 4.
Route info...
Engine startup in Winnipeg...
Waiting for a Caravan to clear the runway...
Passing by Winnipeg Int. Good climb rate...Gear up...
As soon as I hit the Ontario border then all you could was lakes everywhere. Here I am crossing over "Lake of the Woods"
As mentioned, it was a pretty remote route. This is the only airstrip that I came accross. It was Sioux Narrows.
The flight looked as though it was going to be clear sailing but then I hit a temporary wall of cloud! I climbed to 8000 ft and got above it.
Here is where all the AI traffic decided that they would join my little airspace. Notice the TCAS in the bottom left and see how many aircraft are around me! Of course, ATC started babbling for about 15 minutes trying to make sure everyone had their own pathway.
Lining up for final...
Just above the threshold...
Taxiing to parking...this was a beautiful addon scenery for Thunder Bay...
Parked at the gate...
