    Default Drumheller

    A couple weeks ago a few of us flew from Edmonton to Drumheller where they have one of the largest dinosaur deposits in the world and a world class museum. It was a great trip for about 1.5 hours of flying at 100kts. If you are ever in the area, I would recommend it.

    Wow. Beautiful. Nice camera work on the ground. Odd looking bunch of Kitfoxes though.

    Hi Esser
    I was there last month with my Vixen C-FOXK. Guess I should have taken some pics!!! Takes me 4 hours from CYYF (Penticton). I went to the 100 Anniversary of my home town,Delia.
    Great flight over the rocks.
    I plan on trying out my "covered wagon" next month with a Campervan trip to AZ.
    Your 914/Airmaster sounds pretty impressive.
    Cheers
    Don

    T-Rex's leg and me a couple years ago. We visited my cousin west of Irricana and spent a full day at the museum.

    Red Deer River Valley is an interesting place to fly near Drumheller. We have been out a couple of times to fly the river.

    Think of the years of erosion to build this natural Pyramid. If you are in the area make Linden a stop. Strip is town maintained 16/34 Country Cousins is the eats place less that a block away. You have to try the peanut butter pie.
