Excursions are like sightseeing trips, but to a specific event. I could
go on my own, but what's the fun in that? I'd rather get together
with some students, ex-students or potential students and split the
cost. Think
of this as my "hey everyone, lets go on a road trip!" page. Here's
what I think would be fun to do sometime.
Merritt Mountain Music Festival
Every year I wish I could go to the Merritt Mountain
Music Festival,
but I always end up working that weekend. Drag me away from my job.
Arrive in Merritt via the airport, instead of by the busy roads.
We
may see the headline perfomers' private aircraft there. The airport is
close
to town and the music festival runs a shuttle from the town to the
venue.
Calgary Stampede
I've always wanted to go to the Stampede. Wouldn't you like to fly over
the
spectacular multiple mountain ranges into Calgary, to participate in a
week
long party, with horses, and a very happy pilot? It's way cheaper
to go by WestJet, but wouldn't it be fun?
Concorde Visit
One of the retired French/British supersonic passenger jets has found a
home
at the Museum of Flight at Boeing Field in Seattle. That's a little
over an
hour flight away in a C172, and I haven't seen it yet.
