Swapped the Cub for a Curtiss Robin. Heading north from Gang Ranch CAY2.  Weather getting a little worse now  Passing Quesnel CYQZ   Weather clearing, great veiw.  Approching Price George CYXS. Great flight.  Might have to check out this place for a while, looks like a nice town. Thanks to Jim Douglass for the excellent Curtiss Robin. |

Hello, Robert,
Neat pics.
I've recently been in Quesnel and Prince George. (Had a good time closing down the Publik restaurant next to Prince George's Treasure Cove Casino.)
I have a great book called "Wings Over the Alaska Highway." (Amazon.com has it.) It details all the airports from Fairbanks to Dawson Creek (and a few south of there, like Prince George). Neat stories of the highway's construction (aviation played an important role) and of latter-day bush pilots in the area.
It would make for a neat project: Fairbanks/Vancouver by sim. Do it in "our era," the Thirties, and there's no Alaska Highway to guide you. (It was built in 1942. The same year I was, come to think of it.)
All in good fun.
Dennis

Thanks Dennis, Iam having some fun up here in the 34Ford. Hope the locals dont get too mad. One of our drivers here in Wisconsin comes from Alaska, and drives the Highway back and forth once every year. It would be some great flying between Fairbanks and Vancouver.
