Flight 31: Moncton to Charlottestown

Simaddons' Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

Charlottetown is both the largest city on and the provincial capital of Prince Edward Island, and the county seat of Queens County. Named after Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, queen consort of the United Kingdom, Charlottetown was originally an unincorporated town that incorporated as a city in 1855.^[2] It was most famously the site of the Charlottetown Conference in 1864, the first gathering of Canadian and Maritime statesmen to debate the proposed Maritime Union and the more persuasive British North American Union, now known as Canadian Confederation. From this, the city adopted as its motto "Cunabula Foederis" – "Birthplace of Confederation".

Charlottetown Airport is the province's only airport with scheduled passenger service, serving 280,000 passengers per year.

The flight here from Moncton was uneventful.  The snowstorm I encountered in Moncton had subsided.  Charlottestown is an untowered airport.

The scenery for both Moncton and Charlottestown was made by Simaddons.
