Mike Bevington and I arrived early to get prime parking spots for the big event tomorrow. Poor Mike had a scare when he was landing on 34 another aircraft suddenly appeared on the threshold of 16. Mike handled it like a pro though!Unfortunately there is no American Airlines 76 model for the CSL library.http://www3.sympatico.ca/dpergau/jpgs/yxc-arrivals.jpgRegards,Dan Pergau

Nice shot Dan! That runway is short enough without having a C130 pop up facing you with propellers spinning just as you are standing on the brakes through 70 knots on a 6000 foot runway. Geeze!The Cranbrook add-on scenery is very nice indeed. Here is a shot of Dan and I at those prime parking spaces, complete with the waving Canadian Flag in front of the tower. You won't find me "nose in" tomorrow afternoon I can assure you.

And Rob just came in but he was not flying a Boeing, three guesses.

Ryan O'Malley, Murf, and Myself made the trip into Cranbrook from Kelowna early this afternoon as well.I made my initial trek from LAX to CYVR and a short hop for the LDA approach into CYLW.Also saw Dean (UKD121) making his way west in Canada as well.In case you wondered.. I actually landed and made taxiway B .On a side note...Last night - the weather in KLAX was outstanding IFR:KLAX 210450Z 23004KT 1/4SM R25L/P6000FT FG OVC002 16/16 A2984Can you say CATIII? Lots of fun in the soup.See y'all tomorrow.Ian Elchitz CYWG

the question is... who brought the beer? Maybe its in the back of Rob's plastic plane.Amazing how timing plays a huge part... Mike left Reno and i left Winnipeg and arrived nearly at the same time. I saw Dean enroute from Winnipeg to YXC as well and with you meeting up with Ryan and Mike... wow great stuff.Dan
