Smooth Skies

On approach to La Loche

The sky is soft, clear and blue today as we are homeward bound level at 15'000 feet. The whole day has been a joy to fly, with smooth air and warm temps on the ground, well only -5C, which is a peach at this time of year up here. The sun is gentle mix of colours as it slowly drops below the far horizon. The sun setting in the North during the winter takes nearly 15 minutes longer to set than in the South, another neat thing about up here. I'm in the KingAir 100 today and it was been treating me good, it's smooth and easy to handle.

We're now 71 miles to the North West of P.A. and you can see a distinct line on the ground where the bush and prairies meet. It's pretty much black and white. Neat.

I had a cool video of landing the plane, but I never figured out how to get it onto the blog, I'll keep trying though. The picture above is the first image of the video.

10 minutes after landing in La Loche, it's much darker on the ground. And it's already past 9:30 am local.
