Black Mike Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Ontario guys, I will be flying a machine across Ontario next month- headed for B.C. from Quebec. How's the best way to get from Mirabel to Winnipeg- I heard that some of the small airports don't have fuel sales anymore as well as we got a nasty callout charge and fuel price at Chapleau last time (2005)- Also grumpy attendant lady. Don't like big airports- too much radio talk. B.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandering Nomad Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Where in Quebec are you starting? I have complete the route several times in the last couple of years. The two routes I have used depending on the weather has either been via Val D'Or - Timmins - geraldton - dryden - kenora and then to Winni or around the great lake if the weather is not too bad. North bay around the lake to thunder bay (at either wawa or marthon they did have self serve fuel) and then there is a small airport after thunder bay before winni (I have a memory of a sieve) but the guy there was awesome, i think it was Atikan or something Also what are you flying because that makes a huge difference on the legs, especially from an Astar to a 205!

Chopper76 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I did the trip a couple of years ago from Golden BC to to Chibougamau PQ in a B2. The route I took was Brandon CYBR, Winnipeg CYWG (did not need to stop but stopped to spend the night with family), Kenora CYQK, Thunderbay CYQT, Geraldton CYGQ, Kapuskasing CYYU, Matagami CYNM and then off to Matagami. If you would like the rest of the route past Manitoba let me know. I never had a problem getting fuel, but like I said it was a couple of years ago. Good luck and have fun!!!

AH1 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I did it twice, from Calgary, once in a 47 when the dinosaurs roamed the world (took two weeks) and a 206. Weather was the problem both times, both were winter trips. Only problem I had for fuel was in Quebec. Lady at the FBO pretended not to speak English, so I told her in English I would be at a Hotel until they fueled me up. Got fuel in 5 minutes. Everybody else in Quebec were fantastic. I carred jugs with me on both trips, just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
