Oct 21st - Ottawa (CYOW) to Pembroke (CYPT)

I haven't gone on a cross-country since getting my pilot-license. Just taking people up for the usual city-tour :). To avoid from becoming a city-pilot I rented a plane today and headed to Pembroke. It's a 1 hour flight each way (@4500 feet). Here are some pictures:

Scooting along Taxiway Papa in Ottawa (note my eTrex GPS laying on the dashboard) ...

... and the view back:

1st Checkpoint - Quyon is now below us - the Ottawa river makes navigation easy. For a direct route I'm following a specific heading though:

2nd Checkpoint - Shawville about 3 miles to the left:

3rd Checkpoint - Bryson is just passed. In the distance near the river lies Portage du Fort (smoke rising):

4th Checkpint - Beathburg. From here it's only another 10 miles before starting the descent:

Pembroke ahead and the field in sight:

The airfield - after crossing overhead an flying downwind:

Safely landed and parked - the airport building is actually quite nice and has a separate 'Crew'-entrance ...

... that's me, the Pilot :)

On the way back - bye bye CYPT:

Pembroke again :)

Ottawa is to the left - Airport ahead:

The Tower ahead:

We're on the left base for Runway 04 - now I really have to pay attention and stop playing with the camera :)
