Hi guys,
Kurly and I did a 'hotshot' from Sarnia to Edmonton back in March. We made it a sort of aviation field day, foregoing the traditional breaks associated with long-haul driving so we could show a glimpse into the treasures that this great country holds for the aviation enthusiast. I tried to post these a few months back, and after a pot of coffee and three straight hours of photo editing, my hard drive lunched itself and all was lost.....
So, here's the second attempt ! Sit back, relax, and enjoy !
Monday, March 15, 2010. We made it to North Bay, ON, Sunday night so we could see the base and it's associated history before we got back on the road.
Hey look ! It's that truck that Kurly tried to position in the background of EVERY single photograph.....

But, due to the glory of modern day photo-editing software, it may be the last ! This Canuck is actually displayed in the town of North Bay itself

And then we were back home.....back to reality. Rest assured, there were many, many more stops we could have made......but I hope you enjoyed this look into what's out there in the great big beautiful land !

Superb shots - loved the AN-124!!!!
The green 747 could be a EVA Air one - I know they are greenq
Wow, what a trip. Only visited Canada once (British Colombia for 2 weeks) and fell in love with the place.
Give me a year's notice of your next road trip, Capt Canada, so I can save up and join you!
;D ;D

You can glimpse into just how big this country is when you see a pile of fallen timber this big.....photo doesn't do it justice.

Absolutely excellent pics CC, :bow: :bow:
You have done what I could only dream of doing, I went to Canada in 93 for a month and went right across from one side to the other, really want to do it again now.
Beauty stuff!

How else would he get the boss to believe he wasn't hiding out at the Riverport? ;D
