I have had many trips to Ottawa over the past 6 months. The parliament buildings are very interesting buildings. For those that have never been to our nations capital, I suggest a trip here for a few day visit. There are lots of things to see and do.



This picture is great if you click on it. This is dowtown Ottawa on the south side of the Ottawa river and the city of Gatineau in the province of Quebec. See if you can find the parliament buildings. My friends that grew up in Ottawa have many stories of crossing the river over to Hull ( now known as Gatineau ) to take advantage of Quebecs younger drinking age.



This too is a great picture/view if you click to enlarge it. Yet another picture of the St. Lawrence as it narrows toward Quebec City.



Approaching Fredericton


Cranking a turn onto final over the Saint John River or should I say the Fleuve Sainte Jean as New Brunswick is one of Canada's officially billingual provinces. There is a live military firing range called Gagetown just south of Fredericton that is restricted airspace 24/7 so some of the approaches have to be kept in pretty tight. Fun stuff for us pilots.
