There were only five of us in three airplanes participating, and we were so glad that we did. It was a fantastic day with the weather cooperating and a great tour of southeastern beautiful British Columbia!
We departed Kelowna at 8 a.m. and arrived back at 14:55. Most of the airports were met with either a low approach or a touch and go.
I have been flying since 1977 and have not been to the majority of the airports on the list. It was fun to see them and to go as a small group!
Here are some pictures of each airport in the order that we flew them:
