Day 36: The Eagle Has Landed

Captain Jack touched down at CYCW at 3 pm today. Thanks to the Angels and God above for keeping him safe.

On his last day of flight he put on his most official looking pilots shirt ( old airforce shirt from the thrift store) to make his grand return. He also used it in the hopes that he would get a hitched ride back to his plane which was tied down at the Flying U Ranch near his cabin on Green Lake. He thinks he looks more professional with it on, not like any ordinary hitchhiker =)
We all know how special you are Captain Jack.

Leaving Green lake


Followed the Fraser Canyon for awhile, this is near Lilloette



Then up and over the top towards Pemberton.



Pemberton valley


And there it is, the mighty Fraser and lovely Fraser Valley. I am home.




He is happy to be home to welcome his newest grandaughter Lucy Elizabeth into the family. She makes 13 grandchildren from his 5 daughters.



He has flown 9,176 miles and 84 hours of airtime. So many good and interesting memories. He will take a couple of days to tidy up his plane, put his seats back in and then fly back to Lethbridge on Thurs for a family wedding.
There won't be any more posts until sometime next week when I hope to be able to relay some more of his stories and pictures.

WELCOME BACK CAPTAIN JACK
