Many months ago while at a BBQ in Ohio I floated the idea to a few of my flying buddies of an RV-10 weekend flying trip. After a few "adult" beverages at the Combs' Pig Roast in Canal Winchester the idea of a June trip to Quebec City was born.
On Thursday June 8th. 5 couples and 5 RV-10's assembled at the Waterloo regional Airport (CYKF) in SW'ern Ontario Canada to prepare for the 438nm trip to Quebec City (CYQB)
Bill and Jane Peyton from St. Louis MO, Geoff and Laurel Combs from Pickerington OH. arriving at CYKF to clear Customs.
We all met at the airport Restaurant for lunch to plan the weekend activities in Quebec. Due to deteriorating weather and TS in the forecast for the next day Rick and Sandra Lark from South Hampton ON. (VFR only for now) as well as the Combs' and the Peyton's all decided to leave for Quebec in the afternoon.
Taxiing for departure at CYKF
Flight Aware tracks on Combs and Peyton en-route between Ottawa and Montreal.
For various reasons Art and Jane Penner (Rockwood On.) and Dianne and I (Guelph ON.) we unable to leave until the next day, Friday. As it turned out the weather cooperated for both of us although a few minor deviations were needed to stay clear of the build ups along the St. Lawrence River east of Montreal.
Friday morning I took this shot of the Toronto Skyline with the CN Tower and City Center Airport.
