After an uneventful arrival and departure through Winnipeg, we were on our way to Calgary for a connection to Comox.  Slight delay meant we left a tad late but the dropping Sun and light level made shots interesting along the way.......

Dropping down through about 25,000' heading for a landing in Calgary........

...



Almost dancing on the top of the clouds.......

...



Now we're in it.......I hope they know where they're going ?....

...



Whew, we popped out the bottom just in time to see the ground coming at us........

...



And now, just about down, right in front of the homefield hangars of WestJet..........hope the spoilers are armed..... Wink

...



And this view just 8 mins after leaving Calgary.......Rockies in sight and heading for the coast......

...



One hour out of Calgary, we're greeted with the first hints of nearing the coast......although we are still over the mainland, there are many inlets showing that the saltwater is near.......
