Flying To The USA
On Saturday, the Calgary Flying Club is organizing a convoy down to Cut Bank, Montana (KCTB). Assuming favourable conditions satisfying all the PICs, there will be seven planes participating in the flight. Once we arrive we are going to hook up with some local pilots for some lunch at a local restaurant and then return in the early afternoon.
Despite a decade of flying, I’ve never actually taken part in any flying that involves multiple aircraft at the same time. Last year I took part in a three plane convoy to Vulcan, Alberta but that doesn’t really count since I left Springbank early and arrived well before the other two aircraft and then left Vulcan before them. This time, I plan to be somewhere in the middle of the pack with the hope of getting some good still and video photography. And perhaps some at reasonably close proximity. To ensure success, I’m bringing two other crew members, including KDE’s Aaron Seigo, whom I plan to employ as co-pilot, navigator and photographer and whatever else I deem appropriate. Perhaps even flight attendant. Ha!
