C-IKIM Heads WEST (Canada)
CH750 Advanced Ultra Light Aircraft (AULA) lifts off and points her nose WEST to Calgary, Alberta. A journey of 2000 miles over the rugged northern Canada wilderness in winter conditions. With the ROTAX 912S purring this CH750 has a 6 hr endurance range... it will be needed. One fuel stop in Sudbury, Ontario and 7 hrs later C-IKIM landed safely in Wawa, Ontario. A SPOT GPS PLB tracks C-IKIM position to Google Earth every 10 minutes for family & friends to follow the progress.
Location: Ontario, Canada

I live in Airdrie, would love to meet you when you arrive! If you want to land here I could give you a ride to town if I am around!

Leo, that is very nice of you, much appriciated. We arrived to Wawa at 16:00 and watching the weather for tomorrow's flight.
George, the plane will be based in Winter's Aire Park and you are welcomed to see the plane once we arrive Calgary, or may be I may fly it to where you are around Calgary.

Hey Bashar if C-IKIM ends up a little south in Fort Frances and needs some hangar space for the night mine is available.

Bob it an awesome plane that you build, sometimes we did 130 KT ground speed and once the IAS ticked 101 KT. It was nice flight with Claude Roy in the left seat on the first leg and then in the instructor seat on the second leg. The plane is securely tied down in Wawa waiting for tomorrow's weather.
