A brief video from Vancouver

This is a brief video of my visit to Coal Harbour in Vancouver and the water aerodrome. The video consists of a brief view of the aerodrome, followed by a DHC2 Beaver and a DHC3 Turbine Otter.

Out of Vancouver and off to Ganges Harbour on Saltspring Island

While in Vancouver, I took a return flight with Harbour Air from Vancouver to Ganges Island [on Saltspring Island]. It's around a 30-minute flight each way, and in my case, both flights were in a DHC3T Turbine Otter, C-FODH. 

First up is the aircraft for the flight, then the control tower, pictures of the flight then from Ganges Harbour itself.

The cockpit of the DHC3 is clearly functional rather than lavish. I like it!

I am on holiday at the moment and for the next couple of days I'm in Vancouver. For today's walk-around I went down to the harbour area and took a number of photos of Harbour Air float planes at and in the vicinity of Coal Harbour, downtown Vancouver [ICAO code CYHC].

First up is Harbour Air's Coal Harbour base, followed by three of their fleet.

Now the great news is that I've booked myself into a flight with Harbour Air tomorrow. I'll be on the "Mail Run", so heading out to Ganges Harbour on Salt Spring Island. There's sure to be some photos up in the next week or so.

Also, I've got a few hundred photos from around Canada, many of them aviation related, so stay tuned as the next month is likely to be busy with posts!
