The return for the airport is just a bit tricky.
We have an early morning service from the south terminal
but the shuttle runs to the main terminal only.
What means to take an expensive cab, no,
or connect with not that much time in between for this one

The south terminal is also a place to spend much more time than really available with all these special aircraft movements around.
Northern retro´s

Better not to go for Cranbrook today and also Port Hardy looks not like the real joyflight

This ticket is fixed with Pacific Coastal directly.
The fare is 70.00 Euro´s.
Check-In is swiftly done and the nice elder woman at the counter confirmed the scheduled Saab 340 on this service.
Sorry, no cute Beech today

For security it is, without a minute to wait.
Looks like nice this way
 photo CDN13012425_zps984b3279.jpg
 photo CDN13012426_zps4ba7e5de.jpg

Nice people here, definitely.
The woman from the check-in desk comes to us
with the terrible news that there is a plane change and we should ride the Beech now.
The Beech, the first time ever for me on the 1900C.
Me on the 1987 built C-GCPZ, no individual name, no incidents to report, never ever or not?.
Where is these irony-out button once again?

Well, just for the case, boarding this way from gate 1, what else?
 photo CDN13012433_zps0f4a67ef.jpg
 photo CDN13012434_zps5a08459f.jpg
08.45 am, 30 minutes to go and also 30 minutes late.
"Pasco" leaving the "Vancouver International Airport" from runway "Zero-Eight-Right", 3505 meters and 16 partly cloudy degrees.
The guys upfront are from Canada, the younger pilot with a nice welcome during boarding, the young FO also nice at the planes door.

No FA, no service, no route info.

And to follow these two small engines straight

Well used to say the least and also the cabin with the blue grey leather seats, legroom is somewhat low.
The load is close to 100%, one open seat only to notice

Bye now to Pacific Coastal and ready for a closer view to some special equipment around at "Campbell River Airport"
 photo CDN13012478_zps3f1eb5a5.jpg
 photo CDN13012479_zps5f368b74.jpg
Well, not this time!
 photo CDN13012480_zps09f2df6e.jpg
 photo CDN13012481_zps6233f9f8.jpg

 photo CDN13012482_zps4d009241.jpg
 photo CDN13012483_zps127890c3.jpg
Bye now to Pacific Coastal
 photo CDN13012484_zpscbfc64ce.jpg
 photo CDN13012485_zpsa1d6db89.jpg
And our safe and reliable transport up the north
 photo CDN13012486_zpsff25d98f.jpg
 photo CDN13012487_zpsd96e536b.jpg
Up the north, really?. Well, we should change the direction immediatelly to start the long, long treck back to the homebase, but that´s another story!.

And here are the conclusions:
1.)Seair Seaplanes CXH-ZNA: The caravan of the air/sea.
2.)Harbour Air ZNA-YVR: Every detail well explained.
3.)Pacific Coastal YVR-YBL: A warm welcome to the B19C.

Take care,
bye now.
