Hi
I am Angus McKenzie COPA1508914. My wife and I are contemplating a
Sept. trip in our Murphy Rebel on amphib floats and I was wondering if
you might be able to offer any assistance with advice or contacts for
our route?
We are thinking about departing London On. Sept.5-6 for Moosenee then
along the coasts of James and Hudson Bay's to York Factory then in the
Nelson River to Thompson MB then west Flin Flon,LaRonge,Meadow LK,Lac La
Biche,Valleyview,Dawson Creek then along Hwy 97 to Prince George then
Vancouver Is. and then back east via the southern route.
My main concern for advice relates to the portion from Moosenee to
Thompson regarding fuel etc. It would be helpful to be able to speak to
someone who is familiar with this area or route regarding "Real life"
availabilities as compared to those published ones,which sometimes tend
to have been "overly optimistic" when you get there.
My limited northern experience comes from working with spray planes
along the Abitibi R. in a supported environment and numerous ag-plane
ferry trips from western Canada to SW.On. so this ,recreational flying
vacation,will be a new experience and one I would wish to plan as safely
as possible.
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Best regards, Angus
