Sabre 28 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Just a few shots of what turned out to be a rather shorter trip than planned Starting out at CYPU Puntzi Mountain, Canada with the intention of flying the mountains up to CZST Stewart. Unfortunately I became so focused on the views that I forgot to keep an eye on the engine temperatures and had to put the Spitfire down at CYBD Bella Coola. Not convinced I should be flying in this weather! Hmm... still not sure Signs it might clear Into the mountains Clear skies ahead On top of the world!!! Miles of mountains Down for a closer look - should have been watching the engine!!! The approach to Bella Coola Safely down at this rather remote little place, but at least I can cool the engine Link to post Share on other sites

Sabre 28 Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Super shots Graham, it seems unusual to see the Spit in these regions! I know what you mean Joe, they almost look out of place when they aren't flying over the English Channel. Link to post Share on other sites
