Canadian Xpress January Fly-In – The Tropics
Last month, we enjoyed a nice -45°c landing in Russia, so this month we are going to warm things up a bit.
Starting in the city of brotherly love in Philadelphia and home of the Liberty Bell, we are getting away from the cold of winter into the warmth and tropical air of Caribbean Sea to Nassau in the Bahamas where the weather is a steady +27°c all winter long, so don’t forget your sunscreen.

Canadian Xpress December Fly-In – Cold!
For some places in the world the weather is warming up and spring is slowly starting to break free of winter’s grasp, if you live in the southern hemisphere.

This month, we are flying to the coldest airport in the world. Yakutsk Airport in Russia will allow you to experience what could be one of the chilliest travel hubs on the planet as the city is regarded as the coldest in Continue reading
Canadian Xpress November Fly-In – Remembering Those
Normally at Canadian Xpress we avoid simulating real world events so that we stay neutral on current events in the world. However, we think this month’s fly-in is a subject that everyone can relate to no matter what your background.

Canadian Xpress October Fly-In – Aurora Borealis
An aurora is a natural light display in the sky (from the Latin word aurora, “sunrise” or the Roman goddess of dawn), especially in the high latitude like Canada’s Arctic regions, caused by the collision of solar wind and magnetosphere charged particles with the high altitude atmosphere. The charged particles and solar wind are directed into the atmosphere by the Earth’s magnetosphere. A geomagnetic storm expands the aurora zone to lower latitudes.
Canadian Xpress would like to invite all pilots & virtual airlines to join us on Saturday, October 18th at 10h00edt (14h00z) and 20h00edt (24h00z) for our October 2014 fly-in where we will travel from Vancouver (CYVR) and head north on an 1h45 minute charter flight to Yellowknife (CYZF) with people heading to Aurora Village to spend a night sleeping under the stars, taking in the spectacle of Continue reading
