Flying with Cam's Beaver, Oct 29, 2013

By Jannadem Comments (7)

It was very beautiful, but crispy cold afternoon in Kamloops, BC, Canada. Took off south-west and turned towards Knutsford, our flying club location. Midflight I "met" Cam Villeneuve in his bright yellow Beaver. I tried to keep up with him, but his wing is much more efficient than my hang glider. Eventually we landed at Knutsford airstrip and took some pictures. Wind started to pick up and because one never knows what will happen there weatherize, I decided to ahead back to Kamloops. Actually the weather was very good so I continued flying. Buzzed over sand bars, check on the birds and generally enjoyed myself in that beautiful countryside.

    Hi Jan......very nice to see your videos, thanks for them.

    I live in Kelowna and fly out of Lumby (Freedom Flight Park)

    I think that it would be an easy hop for you over the hills to visit us there during the summer or visa versa.

    I googled it, and there are actually a lot of "Beaver Cams" where you can watch beavers doing what they do.

    Like this one:

    On Nov 5, XYZ wrote me:  Please tell me you picked up on the “beaver” double meaning?

    Yeah, totally.   However I was amazed when I googled it, it showed me ACTUAL beavers of the furry kind (as opposed to the shaved kind)

    Sounds like a new poll, shaved or furry :)
