Flying the Line

[Taco]

Here are some shots of flight 19 flight to Halifax.

Out of Halifax. The weather is truly Canadian.

Hi all, again, some shots of last nights flight. One thing, I left the pilot seat and open the door to the cargo area, and oops! "Hey Dudley, I think we forgot something." no wonder we got off the runway so quick!

 

[Willy]

Nice flight from Sydney to St Pierre (?). I was having a few issues with the Stratoliner, so I swapped back to a little something that I know works well.

 

[Taco]

You all out there!, Even with the problems that were occuring with Willy's Boeing 307 this was a very good flgiht. Someone was trying to convince me that this here white stuff was sand, I maybe a little crazy, but this old boy ain't stupid. (some say I am. hehe) But baby, that is snow and it is cold! Cya later

 

[Willy]

St John's Newfoundland. Time to turn back to the west.

 

[Taco]

Hit there, Here are some photos of the last flight north before turning west. Like the wagon trains of the old west, "Westward Ho!"

 

[Taco]

Well here we go again! Unventful flight between CYYT to CYDF, but still a lot of that white sand on the ground as mentioned by one of the other pilot, but I still think it is snow! I sure will be glad when Spring comes to Canada it is cold up here(In FS9).

 

[Willy]

Meanwhile, somewhere in the far northern reaches of Canada.....

 

[Taco]

Hi there, well, it finally turned into spring north of the 48 states.

 

[Willy]

Nice flight to I'm not sure where, Canada.

 

[Willy]

Nice flight to CYRI and I finally got away from the snow covered ground. I was beginning to think it wouldn't melt off until mid-July. Decided that I need to get back to "railroading". Next stop, Montreal!

 

[Taco]

Hey there! lots of heavy haze on this flight until we were starting down into CYRI and then it cleared. I knew it was a trap! Expecting heavy fog on approach, but it stayed clear for uneventful landings.

 

[Willy]

Great flight last night. We were flying along towards St Hubert in Montreal when ATC contacted us and apparently he didn't know Flight 19's well deserved reputation for just totally ignoring air traffic controllers. After a while of us either ignoring him or giving totally stupid answers, he closed the tower and went home. Then as it was getting into dusk, most of my gauges went dark. Not sure what was up with that, but you'd think the owner of the A-26 that I.. ahem.. "borrowed" them from would have put a sign on his panel about that trick.

CYHU was in a thick fog and I couldn't see the runway lights until I was literally right on top of them. I ended up making a hot landing at about 115kts. Anyway, off to AutoZone for some new brake pads......

 

[Taco]

Hi folks, just a few snaps of last nights flight. Only thing I can say is I am sure tired of the bloody bad weather.

 

[Willy]

Apparently I forgot to load the camera last night and had to grad the last shot off of clipboard. Great flight at dusk and gave me a chance to see how the new install is working at night. Only hitch was that whoever picked the airfield, should have got one that has lights on the runway.

 

[Taco]

The weather cleared up some what along the flight path, and we got to see some of the country side which on this junket is a big deal. The weather has been a little on bad side for most of the flights in Canada. Been kind of worried about flying over all the water, and making an unsked water landing, but Old Dudley remained me that with all the corn dog stick on board we would float for sometime. hehe, this plane would sink like a rock!

 

[Taco]

Hey all, one picture today. This was taken at Mountain View, Canada as Flight 19 was preparing for the flight to CYSB.

 

[Willy]

And another enroute to CYSB...

 

[srgalahad]

Don't complain! Almost 50 years ago I flew into Mountain View in a C150 and the weather was worse. Spent a day and night at the Picton Flying Club waiting for the fog to clear
