Trans-Canada Adventure Leg 1

[Cherokee_6]

Today I started my Trans-Canada Adventure! I plan to cover each corner of the country. Each leg will be aprox one to two hours flight times (or as time permits).

I will try to post a new leg at least once a week. Feel free to comment on what you think or places you think I should see.

Thanks!

This first leg of the trip was from Calgary, Alberta (hometown) to Medicine Hat, Alberta. Nothing really exciting but the landing reminded me that I have not flown in a while!  ;D



Warming up the engines and obtaining taxi instructions.


Waiting for final clearance to take off...


Lining up on runway 16...


See ya later! Don't expect to be back home for a while...


This is pretty much all I saw on this leg...after all this IS the prairies!


On final at runway 21...


As I was about to touch down a gust of wind came up.(ya...that's it...a gust of wind) Needless to say I had a hard tail strike which is going to cost me some repairs a fixup paint job...


Happy to be parked and secured and heading to find the local body shop repairman...
