During Christmas break 2011, I made two different flights from Camrose Alberta, up to Fort McMurray, and from there, north for 50 miles to see the oil sands, or formerly called the tar sands facilities, of Syncrude, Suncor and others. It was a wonderful trip, taking about 6 hours in total, including lunch & refueling in Ft McMurray airport.
And here we are, Deanna (pilot in left seat) and Steve Halls.
And here are some pictures of farms and forest, during the flight from Camrose to Ft McMurray.
