A taste of Alberta

Although this is the wrong season it is coming in to Calgary!!!



trip status

Ran into heavy wind over North Dakota...using more fuel than I calculated.
The lack of airports in that area forced me to land in a small field!!
Had to bring in fuel to top me up for my next leg Calgary,Alb.
Weather was very cold also at times.
The forecast fro Alberta is for light snow so wish me luck!!!
