Good Morning Canada!
We woke to a freezing cold sunny day with minus 16 degrees!
After a hefty breakfast home-cooked by our lovely land lady Lois, we set off back to the hangar.
By lunch time the temperatures had 'warmed up' to minus 5 and Betty was pulled out into the sunshine for a test flight.
We invited two young engineering lads to join John on the flight, whilst Roger and I watched her getting started. The old lady certainly had to puff a lot as she tried to get her engines running.
Eventually John taxied her out to the runway and took her for a 15 mins circuit. All seemed well, so it was time to fill her up with Avgas which put a big hole into Phil's pocket. In the meantime Anne had walked nearly 10kilometres to the airfield.
All set to go, the team retreated to the B&B for paperwork preparations like filing flight plans and arranging the entry into the US. It's now time to put this PC down and relax over a good glass of wine and some cheese!
Here's to another great 'on the beech' trip! cheers!
