C-FQRI Gulf Island Air DHC-3 at 6000ft over Point
Grey/Vancouver,BC. Viewing south-south-east over north arm of
Fraser River - CYVR a/port, middle arm of Fraser River,
Richmond, Fraser River, farm land: dark green near top
right is Point Roberts,Washington State, USA. My flight that
afternoon possibly to Quamichan Lake (near Duncan on south
YVR Island) with 8 men and returning empty to CYZT, took 4.8
hours.
CYVR a/p ATC/Air Traffic Control would have told me to stay
up high rather than fly over Vancouver Island because of
airliners doing their approaches to CYVR over CYCD/Nanaimo
on Vancouver Island. (photo detail : Nikon FM , 70mm, f 5.6,
60th). 8 September 1980. (On July 3rd 1980, I began the
practice of recording only the day's total time for each
aircraft flown (ie) the departure and destination are shown in
the company's Journal Log Book )
