Last night I continued on in my Cross-Canada Trip. I travelled from Medicine Hat, Alberta to Moosejaw, Saskatchewan. (Home of the Canadian Snowbird Airshow Team).

After getting some body work and paint job repairs from my picture NOT perfect landing at the end of Leg 1, I am ready to get going again.

Again nothing exciting on this part of the trip as I am still making my way through the vast open prairies. Starting with Leg 3 there should be better scenery as I will be getting into some add-on scenerys.

Not too far of a distance...

Leaving Medcine Hat...

Allowing my AP to get me on course...

For alot of the trip my course followed the Trans-Canada Highway.

There was not much to see so we will skip to the end...
Lining up for Final...

Just before touchdown..(substantially better then the landing on Leg 1) Roll Eyes

Parked and secured and no damage done this time...

Right now, I would agree with you. But once I get into Eastern Canada and then start heading North, there will be more scenic pics....I found a whole bunch of Add-On Scenery that will start to show up.

Ah Geez, Orenda, you arent gonna stop in Gander, on your way from St John's to Corner Brook? Actually Exploits Valley(Botwood) airstrip, 5 mins from my house, and only a little out of your way and you can rest your weary bones with bbq and ice cold Newfoundland beer (The Black Horse runs by here), before you hit that run from Corner Brook to the Goose. I will even take my Vimy to meet ya lol

Have a great trip!!!!
