Canadian Ramblings 5 into the Cariboo
Posted: Sat Feb 01, 2020 8:11 pm
A return of the Canadian journeys. What can be seen over the fence, (no official viewing areas) and pictures often just for the record, of the more unusual aircraft types.
This was on a holiday back in September 2010. It is travelling North of Vancouver, mainly on highway 97 through the Cariboo. Excellent scenery. All airfields easily found.
Surprising that several aircraft carried the old CF- prefix.

Small airfield with seven logged. Interest – Spectrum Beaver and a Quad City Challenger.
