We have been having a lot of forest fire smoke in Southern Alberta recently and I wondered if that might be an issue. However, the METARs don’t look too bad - visibilities of 3 to 6 miles in smoke were reported on Saturday.

PS I misread the takeoff time, I thought it was in the morning. It was 22:15, about 50 minutes after sunset.
