John Lovell Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 An early start to the day at Squamish airport, parked up with all pre flight checks done. Will be a 230 mile flight South to Astoria Regional Airport in Oregan We depart to the North then make a sharp turn left Southwards of Squamish and head out Horse Shoe Bay BC into the Strait of Georgia [img width=1121 height=700]http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/5262.jpg Some very dynamic and un predictable weather coming in fast!.. Gonna have to keep all my senses in check and try and skim just under these clouds at 4'000ft [img width=1121 height=700]http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/4473.jpg [img width=1121 height=700]http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/4494.jpg As dawn is breaking on what horizon we can see, we begin to pass Vancouver [img width=1121 height=700]http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/4025.jpg ...and Southwards accross the Strait of Georgia on the Canadian side [img width=1121 height=700]http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/2196.jpg Passing over Victoria, still some cloud, but we gonna have to start climbing through it now...
