Mike the Pike Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) I went to Toronto Saturday for my annual sales meeting just got back last night. Before we took off in Montreal the Captain mentioned we would be flying over lake Simcoe on our approach to Pearson International Airport. Please tell me which bodies of water these lakes and rivers are. #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 Yes I know this one the CN Tower. I stayed at the Stagewest Hotel in Mississauga a very nice place to stay. Just like last year we took in another great show called 70's fever. What a show many great old tunes from the 70's like the Bee Gees Rod Stewart and even a quick visit from the band Kiss .I think the highlight of the show was when a young lady came dressed and sang like Tina Turner belting out the famous song Proud Mary.She stole the show.So Cool!!!!!!!!!! If anyone has a chance check out the show.The food was very good and the show is worth every penny. I was on the lookout for Trackers hut but I think he built it too small Well hopefully I can get back to fishing this weekend. Mike the Pike.

ccmtcanada Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Yes I know this one the CN Tower. The only one I can help you is this one. That big blue thing behind the tower is Lake Ontario. Glad I could help...LOL Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistyriver1 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) Just a couple of guesses Mike, but I think #4 is Chemong and #1 looks like Rice. Edited January 23, 2008 by mistyriver1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost the same as 10, but you can see the mouth of the Nonquon river on the right hand side......

irishfield Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 All I can tell you Mike is that you were sitting in the safest spot in the plane! When they break in half on landing..right behind the wing... you can run out thru the new gapping exit ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Axela Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 #1 doesn't look like Rice. Rice has a lot of islands on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Cool Does Sinker win a prize Good eye Sinker. Joey I agree with Joey.....what do I win? #1 doesn't look like Rice. Rice has a lot of islands on it. I think #1 is crowe lake, now that I think about it. That would be the crowe river on the north end you can see in the picture. Makes sense with the way the pictures were taken as well....crowe, round, chemong, scugog river, scugog lake.......you missed sturgeon and pigeon....the 2 most important ones.....

Mike the Pike Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Well thanks Sinker for helping me with those pics .I was really hoping to get a glimse of Simcoe I guess the pilot changed his course or perhaps I was on the wrong side of the plane eventhough Wayne said I was in a safe place lol.

perodimi Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hi Folks, I thought I could shed some light as I'm a pilot for Canada's flag carrier and have flown Montreal - Toronto many times. When air traffic control (ATC) flows traffic into Toronto, they use four "bedposts" inbound. One from each direction and in this case (from the east) it's called the Simcoe arrival because it comes in just south of Lake Simcoe before it blends in with the landing pattern. In ths case, it appears you were being vectored around or actually in a hold right over Lake Scugog with left hand turns which gave you the great views. ATC does this as a delaying or "metering" tactic when things get backed up. Sinker is right on the mark and very impressive if I may add! This first picture is Moira Lake near Madoc which you would've passed over first. Then as Sinker said, #2 is Round Lake near Havelock, #3 the causeway at Bridgenorth on Chemong and so on. He had me on the causeway because at first glance, it looked to me like the one in Port Perry. I need a guy like him beside me when the passengers ask where we are! In our world, it's all waypoints and intersections in the sky and have little to do with geographic location. In this case, the pilot said you'll be flying over Lake Simcoe because they were doing the Simcoe Arrival, not because you were actually going to be over the lake itself. Most of our PA's to the passengers are general in nature as many wouldn't know where Lakes Scugog, Chemong, Moira etc. are. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fasten your seatbelt, OFC can be a turbulent ("a set of mischievous, turbulent rebels") place at times. PS. Just trying to become more than a "Minnow".

perodimi Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Thanks Everybody! Great to be here, and although I have a great job, it still doesn't beat fishing! Hope to see you all out on a lake somewhere... Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
