A Big adventure!

A Big adventure!

That looks like quite an adventure for Mark Humbke.

Just guessing on the airports; CYQB to CYYF is 1,904 nautical miles as the crow flies.

The shortest route I could find with fuel stops no further than 225 nautical miles was 2,115 nautical miles. Less range didn't work.

Twelve days flying is a lot of potential for weather challenges.

Yes it was an amazing adventure to say the least..I went from St. Apollinaire Quebec (where I took ownership) to Penticton , B.C. .....and over a lot of no mans land...It took me 10 days and 30 flying hrs.. so much support from where ever I landed ... it was amazing & happen in a very positive way..so many stories to tell... it was solo....

Really it was about the fellow avaitors that made it happen... that I met on the way...

I'm so sorry I didn't get a chance to post it on the forum day by day but my work load was over the top already as you can imagine for going it alone..
