Experience the unpredictable reality of general aviation in Northern Canada. In this episode, Glen and Julie face tough weather decisions while trying to reach La Grande Rivière. From navigating thunderstorms and low IFR conditions in Matagami to making the executive call to divert, see why "err on the side of caution" is the pilot's golden rule.
The journey takes us to Killarney for the legendary fish and chips at Herbert’s Fresh Fish and a visit to the world's largest paddle. Along the way, we deal with "psychological blackflies," smoke from northern fires, and a tight squeeze on the ramp at Oshawa.
Highlights of this flight:
Navigating weather in the Cessna 172
Landing at Killarney (CYCP)
World's largest paddle in Killarney, Ontario
The challenges of flying where radar and radio ends
Fresh fish and chips on the dock
