2010 IFFR Post Montreal Fly-Away

Proposed Itinerary
 There exits an overlap between the G8 Summit and IFFR flyabout following the 2010 Montreal Convention.  Our team of negotiators have been working to move the G8 meeting.  We have concluded that a new and superior flyabout route is the logical solution.  Thanks to Canadian IFFR Montreal flyabout chairman Dean Pepper and his team, we have settled on a superior route which meets the objections of so many demanding a visit to Quebec City.

The route allows us to avoid overflying G8 airspace while having a relaxing two nights at Deerhurst after the departure of Presidents and Prime Ministers.
