2011 Crossing Canada in the Piper Colt

In 2011, I purchased a Piper Colt from a gentleman in Smiths Falls Ontario. I flew there with my instructor and we flew it back across Canada in December... I had only 4 hours of training before we started and 30 hours 5 days later. I did get a lot of cross country training.



That is a long distance in a Piper Colt... The aircraft was designed as a trainer but it works perfect as a cross country aircraft.

Entering the Rockies.. just beautiful
