"Welcome to Beautiful British Columbia!"

Thats the moto on the sign when you enter B.C. and did those words ever ring true on this leg! Shocked

This leg of the trip was packed with beautiful scenery!
I was very excited to head STRAIGHT south and get down farther in B.C.

After doing some sightseeing around Whitehorse and picking up some sourveniers for the family, I loaded up the Baron and headed out.

My destination for this leg was Kitimat, B.C.

Flight Info....

Current location...

It was a cold morning (-25 Celcius) so I had to take a little extra time to warm up the engines. It was also nice to see that Lear beside me as I had not seen too much traffic for the past while! Cheesy

Had to taxi to the other end of the airport to get some fuel!

After then taxiing all the way back to the other end of the airport, I finally got out the runway and headed out!

The flight was jam packed with absolutely stunning scenery but I had to show you this....
Check out the cliff at the end of that runway!! Shocked

I would hate to approach or try to take off against that! Grin

Getting her lined up parallel to the Kitimat River....

Wait a minute....what the heck is this wet stuff?! Could it be....RAIN! Well, well, well...it was so warm that I actually hit rain for the first time in a VERY long while!

Parked and secured. Going out to enjoyed the ABOVE freezing temperatures!

For the next leg of my trip I will stopping over at Rifleman and Stormy's local airport! We'll see what transpires out of that! Wink

Well...I did get really nervous on this landing! Grin

I dont know!? I wondered that myself! Must have been just the angle or something. But you will notice that it turned to snow in the last pic and its only on my plane! (Must have been a cloud following me!) Grin
