Summer Trip 07

Nothing in aviation goes according to plan. I left Ottawa last weekend thinking I was going to Idaho for a Husky Fly-in. The smoke haze in the air got worse as I headed West, I started to see it in Wisconsin and Iowa. A look at the satellite photos showed smoke plumes from fires in central Idaho and western Montana reaching the mid-west and up into Manitoba. I gradually turned left, starting a diversion (Canadian Private Pilot Air Exercise #23) of major proportions.

I'm not quite sure where I will end up - I will have to stop before I run off the edge of the charts (maps) I brought with me.
