Weekend Adventure

[andrew_c]

Well, just got back from the best aviation weekend of my life

Last weekend a friend said he could get me buddy passes with Westjet, so we decided to do as many flights as possible!

So, here is the breakdown

Over 2 days:

Toronto-Winnipeg-Edmonton-Calgary-Vancouver-Calgary-Winnipeg-Toronto.

We took over 1hr of video and 1200 photos, was awesome!

Here is a quick teaser from this mornings flight as WJA540 YVR-YYC at sunrise.



Now time to go to bed, will post more later!

That's pretty cool Andrew. How much would that cost someone in general to do that?

1200 pics in 2 days?!? Holy F*ck, that's all I can say.

Possible, and quicker than you think .... should everything can make up for a reason to press the shutter

Great pictures!!! I especially like the pictures that were taken around Calgary and over the Rockies!!! They bring back memories of my many flights between Calgary and Vancouver and also between Calgary and Kelowna!!! One of the best flights to make is a flight over the Canadian Rockies on a clear day.
