Back to the classic props for these 2 legs, first the Convair CV240 from Ketchikan to Port Hardy (CYZT) - I missed Christian in his EC635 by just a few days (see the "what else do we fly" thread for his great pictures), then changed to the Hs748 to continue to Kelowna (CYLW)

After an hour, it's time to turn down the valley towards Kelowna

Descending between 2 mountain ranges in this weather was not much fun!

This is the real world view looking towards the approach I made

At the gate and time for a walk and some fresh air!

The next leg will see me leave my first "full" country behind (Canada) and I'll be re-entering the USA to follow the Rocky Mountains for a while..

Hope you enjoyed the journey Biggrin

Hey Steve,

Sorry that we have missed each other. The HS748 is really looking great. This reminds me of the days I flew it myself for quite some flights. From time to time I still fly them in the Caribbean, or the Pacific Islands, but that is also a rare occasion.

Now I have to learn the B737NG (iFly) as I bought it yesterday and now I am making my first flight with it from SEA to SFO. Looking forward of flying it in the Caribbean as well...

Very nice pictures Steve!
They look very true to life... one could say 'As real as it can get" ;-)
