    (CYFC) Fredericton NB. Home...

    Almost.
    This is where the skis-off trip started.

    Had to clear customs here. The process for pilots in Canada is that if no customs personnel is there at the appointed time, you get to go (you make a phone declaration before your last flight leg into Canada). So I taxied over to tie down at Capital Airways, Fredericton;s FBO.

    At 7.5 hours, this was the longest flying day of the trip.

    I have now uploaded the 906 photos and movies from the trip. Here is the latest one.    Read more

    Weyman. Final numbers.

    All the way home.

    Went out to check the runway condition and found it firm over almost the entire length and width... certainly enough for my light plane. Met Don M. there and he offered to drive me to Fredericton airport so I could retrieve my plane.

    Done. After landing I avoided turning on the pavement and just pushed it backwards to taxiway CB. Did not nee to use the bog boards under the wheels to cross the grass; saw no depressions in the turf.
