Sunset @ 16,000'

When I started doing this split day, bag run stuff, the majority of the flying was done in the dark. Now, with two minutes being tacked on to both sides of daylight every passing day , we're starting to fly with the panel lights off more often. In fact, on the Smithers - Terrace run I've been doing quite a bit lately, Vancouver is just becoming illuminated by the sun's warm light (if it's not overcast and raining) as we leave in the morning. Coming home, we're seeing the sunset just as we're leaving Terrace for Vancouver. Last night we caught the sunset just on our way into Terrace from Smithers at 16,000'. It won't be long till the long, hot, mostly VFR days of summer are upon us, and night flying becomes a rare event.
