Well summer is over and I am getting used to this whole blogging idea. I did get some of my list of trips completed. First the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Museum:
I was joined by my friend Charlie Luz flying to Sault St. Marie on June 23rd. The trip was made in Cessna Cardinal RG C-FAKQ and took about 2 hours 15 minutes.
The weather was great with unlimited ceilings, as we flew over Manitoulin Island and through some US airspace. Manitoulin Island looks like a great spot for a visit, I do hope to go to Gore Bay or Maniltoulin east in the future. The controller at the Sault was very friendly clearing us for a straight in landing when we were 30 miles out!
Renting a car for $35 for the afternoon was a cheaper option than taking the taxi. We went for lunch at Muio’s restaurant which is a Sault fixture. The Bushplane Museum is excellent. It has an great collection of Canadian Bushplanes. All the classics are there the Norseman, Beaver, Otter, and many rare plane from Canada’s aviation history. This museum is a must see for any aviation enthusiast. The airport is more like a "real" airport than a GA airport, though there are no landing fees. A longer stay would have been nice - you can take the train from the Sault to the Agawa Canyon - I'm sure this would be a cracker in the fall.
