From @ctvnewscalgary.bsky.social: Pilot Dave From was forced to land his Mooney on the Trans-Canada near Banff due to a ‘mechanical issue’. He made the required repairs and, in an uncharacteristic show of pragmatism by all concerned, was allowed to take off from the highway and was on his way. | 🛩️ 📰

Of course, you'll want to get a real expert to weigh in on its feasibility, @jeromyyyc.bsky.social, but how about having a De Havilland CL-415, dispatched out of Springbank and scooping out of the brimming Glenmore Reservoir, deal with the stubborn ECCO landfill fire? | 🛩️ 🦆 📍 🇨🇦
