SUMMARY:4-Day Pacific Northwest & Canada 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join FlyOutGroup on an incredible cross-border adventure to the Pacific Northwest! This is your chance to experience mountain flying\, island-hopping\, and international operations all in one trip. \nThe trip begins on Thursday\, July 16\, when we set off from San Carlos en route to Seattle’s downtown Boeing Field (BFI) airport. On the flight up\, you’ll experience mountain flying as you cross the Siskiyou Range\, overflying the beautiful Trinity Alps and navigating around Mt. Shasta. On arrival into Seattle\, you’ll learn to navigate the complex Seattle airspace\, which is shared by a major international airport\, busy Class Delta airports\, and multiple military bases. We’ll spend the afternoon enjoying the summer weather in downtown Seattle. \nThe following morning\, we’ll depart for the San Juan Islands\, landing at beautiful airports like Friday Harbor (FHR)\, Orcas Island (ORS)\, and Lopez Island (S31). Pilots will gain experience flying over water and learning to mitigate the risks of a water landing. After lunch\, grab your passport for a quick flight across the United States/Canada border\, where we’ll land at one of the busiest airports in Canada – Vancouver International Airport (CYVR)! Clear customs\, and the evening is yours. \nSaturday brings experience flying around British Columbia\, where you have the chance to fly through the stunning Coast Mountains north of Vancouver\, or venture up the fjords surrounding Victoria Island. In the afternoon\, we’ll return to the US\, where you’ll clear customs before setting off to Portland for the night (PDX). Don’t miss the chance to circle the 14000’ Mt. Rainier on the way south! \nThe final day of the trip allows you to depart at your leisure. You can visit the Evergreen Air and Space Museum in McMinnville (MMV) or spend time flying over Crater Lake. We’ll return to San Carlos by early evening\, capping off an incredible four days of flying! \nItinerary: \nThursday\, July 16:\nDepart San Carlos in the AM\nLunch at your leisure\nArrive Boeing Field – Seattle (BFI) mid-afternoon \nFriday\, July 17:\nSan Juan Island Hopping (AM)\nLunch – Roche Harbor\nFly to Vancouver (CYVR) – arrive mid-afternoon \nSaturday\, July 18:\nDepart Vancouver for Canada exploring – 9:00 AM\nLunch – Victoria Airport\nBorder crossing mid-afternoon\nArrive Portland International Airport (PDX) early evening \nSunday\, July 19:\nDepart at your leisure \nHotels:\nThe suggested hotels are as follows: \n\nJuly 18-19: Courtyard Seattle Downtown/Lake Union or Silver Cloud Hotel – Lake Union\nJuly 19-20: Lonsdale Quay Hotel or Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier\nJuly 20-21: Aloft Portland Airport\n\nPilot Requirements: \nAll participants must have a valid\, unexpired passport and FCC Radio Station License at the time of the trip.
