Kernow, I was at Pacific Flying Club (www.pacificflying.com) and they have a Seneca 1 which is in good nick. However, unless trained at PFC, for self fly-hire you need to complete a 5 Hour checkout (for Twin's only)! They are in the process of getting another twin but I'm not sure what type as yet but I would think the checkout requirements will probably be the same (this is due to Insurance requirements by their underwriter who is Lloyds). There is also a company called Montair at CZBB (Boundary Bay) which has a couple of excellent Seneca 2's which you could have a look at. I don't know what their web address is but I'm sure if you find a Canadian search engine then it will point you in the right direction.. .. .You will have a FANTASTIC time and August is brilliant for VFR. I can recommend a strip called Tofino to visit and it's on the western side of Vancouver Island which is very remote and pretty. GA parking is right next to the Golf course restaurant and you can take a short stroll to the beach which is gorgeous and has a great surf, also, many pilots camp on the beach overnight!. .. .Have fun,. .. .Jetgate.. . . . <small>[ 28 March 2002, 20:52: Message edited by: Jetgate ]</small>
