King George Up-Date

For those of you who did not attend the "Fly and Ride" last Sunday at the strip, I for one thought it a great success. There were a couple of hundred motorcyclists exhibiting in the "show and shine" or just dropping by. Not a big deal for those who do not care for motorcycles but lots of much needed exposure to our airstrip and the associated flying school.

There was a live band, lots of food and several draws, all of the proceeds going to AIM, the Association for injured motorcyclists. A very worthy cause with the weather helping out and providing a warm sunny day.

There are some additions to our fleet too. Darrel and Sharron are flying their new Eurofox which looks great. Jerome is finishing a new Savanna, Greg Stump has finished re-propping his Tecnam with a three blade in flight adjustable, Ron Smit has his Zenair back home from Alberta,
Freddie has a new motor and passenger carrying, King George Aviation has a couple of new airplanes coming to join the school fleet.
