Day 28 The Ottawa-Toronto Corridor to London Ont

Jack left a great stopover, just outside of Ottawa, at Rockcliffe airport. He spent yesterday evening there with a new aviation acquaintance, Andre'. Fellow plane addict and adventurer like Jack. A visit that will likely last in a continued connection. I mean really what else would one want to talk about other than planes =)

He left Ottawa and made a stop in Stirling Ont. the famous home town of my former boss, Butch. Two retired guys filling each other up with adventure stories....ain't life grand when you are retired!!! In order to stop in Stirling he had to go through a military airspace. That was interesting.

Then, what the heck, might as well take the most direct route and travel through the most populated area of Canada and busiest radio traffic, the GTA!!! Jack said all the control towers, and there were many, were all very helpful and guided him through.

Up north there was so little radio chatter, hours with nothing to hear and down here there is too much!! He said it is so much more beautiful and peaceful up north with its amazing mountains and wilderness. The Toronto area was hot, humid and smoggy, yet he said was still interesting to fly over it and see how it was laid out. You can see from the two pictures, one of Toronto and one of Montreal how congested such a small part of our country is.

The stop for the night is in London Ont. He is nicely set up in a B&B with an excellent internet so he was able to download all the foreflight essentials for tomorrows flight.
Jack will be flying into US air space to visit a brother in Michigan. He feels he has all the paperwork in order so lets hope there are no glitches.

Lots of focusing today made for a tired pilot tonight.

Sleep well Captain J
