This month's assigned flights were a pleasant change of routine. The sectors were from LAX to Vancouver, then on to Billings, Montana and Minneapolis St Paul. I struggled to find a standard Tradewind liveried passenger jet in my library, so had to dry-lease a B737-800 from sister company TCA Venezuela
