A very busy end to a busy summer

Again I must apologize for the length of time it's been since I added anything to my blog. The summer has been busy, and my free time has gone elsewhere so the blog has gone to the wayside. It has been a fun and interesting summer. Although I have been flying the Caravan now and then, my time has mostly been adding up flying the King Air 200 and the 1900.





The King Air 200 has been lots of fun. WXB takes me all over the province with a mission to deliver number nine stretchers to every corner. Most days doing medevacs fetch at least five hours in the log book, which is pretty much perfect. New to my BC Airports list are Sandspit, 108 mile, and Creston, all very neat for different reasons. This whole province is just full of cool places to see.




Now I find myself cracking out all sorts of books. I've had the time to get my ATPL for a few months now but have yet to write the exams (there's a lesson here folks so pay attention). It seems my free time this summer could've been better spent (as per usual), as that ATPL is required for the movement of my rearend from the right seat to the left, and that left seat ride is in two weeks.

I think the name "Shawn" is Celtic for "Procrastinator":) Good Luck (happy studying) and congratulations. Great photo's as always. Love Mom

Terrific photos again!!! Thanks Shawn! Glad to hear both that you've had a good summer and that you'll keep blogging. I'm a charter pilot in the midwest and find your flying scenery totally awesome!

Nice to hear from you again Shawn and thanks for your inspirational blog. Since you last blogged I've at last got my PPL (two days ago) and have now about sobered up! Still would like to experience bush flying - maybe come over and fly in your Caravan before, as we say here in N.England, "I pop my clogs!" No joking! Best wishes with the groundwork.
