Re: N79A

That's a paint scheme that if you showed me a sketch picture... I would've tried to talk you out of it. But that looks freaking awesome. Nice plane, dude.

Flash Pass

Image

Crossed the border for the first time this weekend. I used flash pass to file eAPIS and it worked flawlessly. I'm sold on it. They'll give you a free three month trial, so definitely can't hurt to try.

Stopped at Lillooet for lunch.

OK, I've got to ask: What food attracted you to Lillooet? I was stranded there a while back and even the best place we could find wasn't great. Wierd place.

Nice picture and airplane by the way! And congrats on the border crossing!

Besides, always know which way your aeroplane is pointed.

Did 79A ever live in Maine? Around the 2000-2003 time frame?

Not much there. It just happened to be the closest place to get on the ground and make some PB&J sandwiches.
