Hey All.
Well, I just got back from my first crosscountry here in Canada. It was very long. 4 hours flight time.
We took a Piper Warrior and left at about 10:00am local time. and got back around 5pm local time ( 2 hours to hang out at the two different different airports we landed at.)
I hope you enjoy the pics, There are some pretty cool pics here.

Out around these's necks of Canada there is not many reference points to look for. It's very easy to get lost.

Well, as you know I'm always looking for ways to take unique pictures. and I don't think anyone has stuck there camera outside the airplane before and took a picture.

NOTE: you can see the tail of a NorthWest. Northwest does not fly into Gander, but it had an emergancy and had to land last night. As you'll see that was not the only emergancy plane.

WOW, look at the size of that thing!! AN 124-100 I think.

A KLM 747-400 also made an emergancy landing this morning!. We got some treat today. Two airlines that never come to this airport were here today. It was really exciting to see them.
Also, the other KLM that is there came from Europe not so long ago to deliver new parts to the 747 in hoping they could fix it.

It is? What is the main difference in that and the -400? ... I'd like to know so I get it right the next time I see a 747-200. I'm surprised you could in those pictures though, the detail is bad.

Is that Ice on the Leading edge on the 11 image. Also does the Pilot sit on the Right side with regards to the fact the aircraft is in Europe.

Cool shots thanks for sharing them.

Thanks for the comments so far guys.

Actually, this flight took place in Canada, not Europe, so the Pilot in Command sites on the Left seat. But, I was sitting in the left seat even though my Flight instructor is considered the Pilot In command. It's just the way they teach I guess.
Nope, lucky that is not ice. The airplane is just in dier need of a paintjob. lol

I saw a Cherokee Warrior at KBFI yesterday were Ill bet the paint had some parisiticle drag on the flight dynamics...it looked like some of those Dodge Aries in the 80s.....hope you know what I mean.

Well I know what you mean by the parasite drag. ( I can never remember if it would be parasite drag or skin friction. ) But about the 1980's dodge Aries, well, I was only born in 85' so I don't know many cars from the 80's.lol
