Hello fellow CT pilots!

 

I just got home in Friday Harbor WA (80 miles north of Seattle) after a flight across Canada and back. I departed Friday Harbor July 12, 2013, flew across Canada, and arrived at Prince Edward Island on July 21, 2013. I stayed there about five days, then headed home.

 

I attended the EAA Air Adventure at Oshkosh for three days. Flight Design had a very impressive presence at Oshkosh. They had a terrific location right at the entry gate. There were about five Flight Design aircraft on display; and there were usually a half dozen people from Flight Design and affiliates there to answer questions.

 

The CTLS performed remarkably all along the route - no down time whatsoever. I flew east over mountainous terrain in Canada's western provinces and I flew west over mountainous terrain in the US west. Even on hot days, I was able to clear the ridges with lots of room between me and the terrain.

 

It was a great flight. I took over 1,000 aerial shots with my Canon 5D Mark III. Take a look at my blog where I posed daily. Don't worry! The number of photos I posted on the blog has been mercifully reduced from the 1,000 shots I took.

Awesome trip Darryl. Was reading your blog today. David Tenenbaum turned me on to it. Between your trip and the around the world azimut trip, there really should be no doubt on the utility of these planes.
