An early morning flight in the Beech Duke from KFHR in the San Juan Islands (Washington state, USA) , to CAT4, situated on the Georgia Strait, British Columbia

I don't make it to Canada very often, but I found some exceptional freeware at the usual place for CAT4 (along with others like CYCD if you want to explore that area)

Enjoy this flight with nice views in the stunning Black Square Grand Duke (stunning livery by TimHH)

Somewhat of a marine layer/mist in the early morning here....  it makes for a lovely view I think!

Leveling off at 2,500, we'll pull the power back to about 75%, the duke is still quite fast 🙂

We head up towards Mayne Island (CAW7) and make the turn towards Nanaimo (CYCD)

CYVR Vancouver Intl across the Strait

Sunrise over the Northern Cascades

The sun cresting the peaks of the North Shore Range

Making a bit of a turn towards Nanaimo Harbor

Passing the Duke Point Ferry Terminal

One of my favorite paints for the Duke 🙂

We'll shoot the practice RNAV 29 into CAT4

And a circle to land runway 11

Turning directly into the sunrise hehe

Hope you enjoyed!

 

Awesome shots of such amazing scenery.

It is such a scenic area to fly. Thanks for sharing. 

Lovely set, Ryan.

The freeware airport sceneries stand out in your pictures. The Duke looks great too…like the flight deck shots…
