Today we plan to fly from Calgary/Springbank to Regina, via stops in Medicine Hat and Swift Current. The stops are so I can fullfill the cross-country requirement for the Commercial Pilot License (300NM radial from origin, with 3 stops not including departure pt). Plus we'll refuel at Swift Current. Should be about 5 hours.
The weather is looking awesome.
We're using the facilities of the Calgary Flying Club. Very nice club. They even have valet parking for the planes! (a guy comes out with a little lawnmower-like thing and drags you to a parking spot).

Where 2 pilot friends do some retirement beta testing and plan to fly VFR across Canada from Boundary Bay, BC to Sydney, NS. Or maybe part-way. And back.

Hey Pete and Bob - Love being able to track your progress and hear about the flight over the mountains (great photos) and the weather battles you've had with the plane, Pete. Keep on truckin' boys... er I mean flying!
Cheers!
