Join us as we take a flight across British Columbia in a Cub Float Plane. If you have the Husky, that would be suitable also. We take off from Terrace and weave our way through valleys, across lakes and follow rivers then land at a sea base before continuing on to our final destination Stewart in a narrow valley.
Plenty of beautiful scenery across this majestic part of the world.
Details to follow. Hope you can join us.
Regards, Paul
