Stillwater Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 For this flight out of squamish I took a plane which is the standard equipment of the airline I am talking about. Not easy to get her airborne on the short runway, but a pleasure to fly over the scenery. At the exit of Squamish´s channel there is Bowen Island. Does it have a connection to the family of @BradB John? Soon after we spot Vancouver city ahead. Lions Gate Bridge, even suited for Jack-style flying. We head a little further eastwards, towards Pitt Meadows airfield, ... ... then we turn over the settlement of Clayton Heights, ... ... before we cross Langley BC. The home of @flyingleaf Karl, and the headquarter of Mule Team Airways. From there it is just a short hop westwards along Hwy 91... ... to Vancouver airport. Not that the jetways would be fitting to the DC-3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bermuda425 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 An epic journey crossing infamous places. And yep, Jack would have his fun under over and under that bridge. The DC-3 is superior to needing jetways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And indeed, the DC-3 is cheaper in ground service use than these fancy mdern birds.

Thank you John, and we all enjoy the Mule Team adventures. Well, it is more adventurous for their passengers. We got more and longer summer rain than ever in central Europe, and the american west coast seems to get hotter and dryer weather with more intense bushfires. It appears that the usual mixture has gone lost. On 7/17/2021 at 4:24 AM, adambar said: Excellent shots Gerold! Thank you Adam!

In fact I vary my planes nearly between each and every flight, even between STRG-E planes for low&slow and study level planes. Means I do sightseeing just as often as "professional" appearance.
