Back to the classic props for these 2 legs, first the Convair CV240 from Ketchikan to Port Hardy (CYZT) - I missed Christian in his EC635 by just a few days (see the "what else do we fly" thread for his great pictures), then changed to the Hs748 to continue to Kelowna (CYLW)
Climbing away in the CV240

My next aircraft, sharing the ramp with a pair of visiting USN UH60s

some great views as I crossed the coastal range

After an hour, it's time to turn down the valley towards Kelowna

Descending between 2 mountain ranges in this weather was not much fun!

This is the real world view looking towards the approach I made

At the gate and time for a walk and some fresh air!

The next leg will see me leave my first "full" country behind (Canada) and I'll be re-entering the USA to follow the Rocky Mountains for a while..
Hope you enjoyed the journey
