Mo gas availability for ferry flight across Canada?
Planning a ferry flight later this summer where I'll be taking my newly purchased plane back home to Quebec from the Calgary area.
Lacking experience in that department so I'm calling on fellow frequent-flyers to get some insight on mo gas availability across the country? (Rotax 912)
Planning to take the southern route through Medecine Hat, Brandon, Winnipeg, Dryden, get close to Thunder Bay before heading up north east towards Marathon and then Timmins or Rouyn...
Any info or tips is more than welcomed. Mo gas, airports with things to eat on site, hotels close by, tie downs or free hangar space Etc... I'm interested in anything that would make this return flight easier.
Thx!

I'm in Moose Jaw; right on the Trans Canada just west of Regina. 3000 foot paved runway. No food or mogas on site, airport is 10 minutes out of town, and no courtesy vehicle. Tiedowns on the ramp are cheap, though, and usually I can squeeze a third aircraft in my hangar overnight if it's RV size. MJ is actually a really nice little city to visit; geothermal spa, tunnel tours, very well preserved historic downtown. Worth a stop if it fits in your plans.

MOGAS IS AVAILABLE at CJL5 Lyncrest Manitoba
Come see us at Lyncrest...
We are at the SE corner of the Winnipeg Class C zone... easy to get here by staying under 2000 ASL and just outside the zone to the south. check the CFS... we have a new clubhouse to show off as well
Tiedowns are plentiful and if you check the Springfield Flying Club website you'll find a contact number.
Brandon does NOT have MOGAS, nor does Kenora.
There are always club members around for a ride to the city...send me a PM if you need more info.
I brought my T18 from QC via Thunderbay, Marathon, Pembroke...its a great route...

If going via Pembroke, make sure your charts are up to date and reflect the new, enlarged CYR restricted airspace around Petawawa, and the new airspace designations around Ottawa.

Airport Info
Salut Jean
Around Montr?al you could use Lachute ( CSE4) or Ste-Hyacinthe (CSU3 ) on the South shore.
Both have fuel( No Mogas) and Restaurant on site.Very friendly airports
Lachute Airport have Bicycles ( Not sure about Courtesy Car ) you can use to go Downtown or they will pay for your Cab Fare both ways .
Have a good flight

As always, you can count on VAF and it's members! Thx to all who chimed in, I'm taking notes as we go.
Again, my main priority is Mo Gas availability for each stop. The aircraft is a CH701 with a Rotax 912 100hp and long range tanks (40gal). So The aircraft does have a good 6-7 hours flight time in it @100mph, but I'm not sure I want to fly long legs like that. I'd rather split the day in two. And maybe fly between 5-8pm if daylight and conditions permit on some days. The goal is to fuel up, and get back in the air, unless I stop for the night.

Do I understand that you have mo gas on site? Or saying that there's always people there to help out?
