Default Canada and NZ flights July August 2011

Started to sort out photos and putting trip reports from my Canada trip online.

Trip reports will be on my trip reports page on my site.

Will post updates here as I get them online.

Adelaide to Vancouver is the first one. More to come.

Great report Ryan. Just out of curiosity, how long was the flight from ADL to AKL and from AKL to YVR? Also, which float plane company are you flying with? I flew Harbour Air when I was in Vancouver earlier this year and they were fantastic.

ADL-AKL is about 4 Hours

AKL-YVR is about 13-14 hours

Flew with whistler air around whistler.

Did an island hopping flight with seair from the floatplane base next to YVR

And a scenic flight around Vancouver from the floatplane base in downtown Vancouver with Tofino Air.

The floatplane reports are coming.

When I briefly sat in one, I thought it was quite big.

I also found the landing in the sea plane to be very smooth too, certainly much smoother than a 747!
