Jack used Braydon's car, a late model Volvo sedan, that Braydon bought here in Mission to take him across country to his job. Price was the motivator and the car has done well. Slight problem with the speedometer but nothing serious. Well, nothing that is until Jack got pulled over for speeding on his way to the airport =) Now, if you know Jack well you know he has a "huge aversion" to cops pulling him over for speeding. ( he had not had a ticket for speeding in 25 years until he got pulled over by a very serious new constable a couple of years ago, the cop just said well this will break the record, Jack has not forgiven him =) He continually claims flying is way better!!.... no police up there. Thankfully today Constable Y was much more understanding, first he was interested that the Volvo had made it all the way from the west coast and then he was even more interested to hear why Jack was there. Jack just has to start to tell his story and there is an immediate interest. They had quite the conversation and in the end Jack passed him a business card with the blog site on it. Thank you Constable Y for renewing Jack's respect for road patrol.
After flying around the area Jack went to St Andrews for some fun flying stunts. He spent an hour with an instructor learning to do roll overs, dives etc. You just have to see the look of excitement on his face to know he had a blast.
He is spending the night at a B&B in Selkirk. Good thing he is indoors because the mosquitos are thick out there. Tomorrow is a bit up in the air, ( no pun intended!) will probably head for Alberta but not sure if he will stop in Saskatchewan for the night. "what its there to do in Saskatchewan" he says.
I know his thoughts are with Braydon and his amazing survival story. He is truly like the son he did not have.
Sleep well GEJG.

What type were you flying for aerobatics? ? Tandem is all I see.
Good to see you're having fun though out the entire trip. Jeff McMurrer
