Our Director of Business Development, Steve,  decided to fly himself and his wife, Marilyn to Mexico in their Cessna 206.

Their route to Mexico from Pitt Meadows

To follow his trip, Steve is sending us an update on his adventure:

Hi Folks,

Thought you might be interested in our trip south through the Baja with our Cessna 206.

Leg 1

Derek picked up the dog and we left Vancouver in pouring rain but the forecast said it was better south. Customs had us draw the unlucky bag check card, my neatly packed bags came out and back in. That cut into our precious daylight hours but a quick fuel turn had us southbound at 3500 ft under a deck of clouds.

The Garmin Aera796 worked it’s magic with Satellite weather and we were able to work our way around the cells. Amazing technology to have in flight weather and it allowed us to push through to Hood River.
