Our last visit to St John's, CYYT, was in our B-17's on our 'hop' across the North Atlantic and the weather then was dicey with (very) low visibility.
However, this time, the weather won't be too bad with the setting chosen so we will depart from CYYT and end up at CYDF, the long way round. There will also be two French airports on the route for those who wish to either touch and go or buzz the towers.
Here is the SkyVector link: https://skyvector.com/?ll=48.1166003239 ... YJT%20CYDF
The first waypoint, depending upon simulator and flight planner also has an NBD, UWP, which is missing from SkyVector. The airport, CCR8, is also different in your chosen simulator and flight planner; mine shows up as CCX4.
Newfoundland wasn't part of Canada until after the Second World War. Here is a link to a brief YouTube history lesson which their algorithm threw up at me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-tcw7AZMMs (A short animated documentary - just under four minutes.)
Suggested 'plane for this flight is either the P-40 or the P-51. I flew it in the P-40 and it took just over two hours and ten minutes.

Local take off time 11:00 am
Weather - historical and set for Monday 4th April 2022. A bit hairy in some parts but otherwise not too bad.
The flight gets a few valleys towards the end for those who desire to go low over the snow. TBH it was boring going solo but flying in a group it might, just might, be enjoyable.
