Hey dudes,
Instead of editing all my pics down, figured I'd just post a link to facebook album for those of you who care to take a gander at the coolest perk of being a pilot awaiting training.. the 'ride alongs'. This is from my first trip with the 429th Transport Sqn back in April or so, a day trip up to Thule, Greenland and back. 10hr round trip, made for one long day! Anyways;

Andrew very cool pics the senery is awesome. and Seeing the AN-225 must have been very cool. I think I remember somthing about that beast in Trenton.

Keep posting pics. great to see.

This trip gave me an appreciation for just how little of Canada is inhabited, 5hrs of cruise and literally nothing below. Amazing stuff!

The An-225 was here almost weekly in the summer, it was amazing! I caught it arriving and departing a few times from the end of the runway, what an impressive machine. It hasn't been back since it got it's new paint though, but we still get An-124s most weeks. The day of that trip we actually had a -124 and -225 when we departed, then about 12hrs later when we arrived we had 2 different -124s and an Il-76! We almost had to change the name of the field to Trentonski.
