Another lot coming up.  We're almost there so I hope I can get down in the clear.

Yep, its nice and clear now but coming down from the mountains to a runway at 120' means a pretty steep slope

Oops.  Only just managed to stop.

Parked up.  Looks a nice little place this

Reverse John Reverse! :P Great set of shots. Nice area up in the Howe sound eh (squamish) to bad there isn't enough decent imagery to give it the ftx airfield treatment :'(

Hi Ricky

It is on the FTX list of North West Airports etc., I would never have found it otherwise! ;D  To be honest I wasn't expecting much anyway 'cos it is out in the sticks.

Glad you liked the piccies.

No pictures this time but I continued on from there  this afternoon to Sechelt-Gibbons in the Piper.  Quite exciting keeping to the valley while gaining sufficient height to get up and over the top.  I must start looking at runway lengths before I start out. :-[::)  It was another hairy landing but I seem to have got down without breaking anything! ;)
