Darryl Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 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.

Rckol Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I thought we could not fly LSA's into Canada? Wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Cesnalis Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Rckol, You cannot fly in Canada without a medical, you can fly an LSA. Darryl, Really nice photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul m Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 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. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
