We started a sightseeing flight on 17.5.22 at noon. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. We saw the adjacent islands from above, quite nice proportions. From Nanaimo we saw the water side. Too bad we couldn't see our holiday accommodation (Hammond Bay Road) but this is around the bend which we unfortunately didn't fly over. Maybe you're not allowed to fly over the city? Unfortunately, the time passed far too quickly, but it was a really great experience. Ute and Frank from Germany wish the whole team all the best
