Cortes Island fly-in


We had a great turn out on Saturday at Cortes Island. Eight airplanes flew in for a lunch prepared with almost no notice by our gracious hosts Jim and Diane. The weather was spectacular. We will have to do this one again.

flying to Rowena's and the pix Paul K made (click)




He fellow pilots James and I are flying to Sandpiper golf course on Saturday land there at about 11:30 and have some lunch, maybe even a hotdog roast ,we think that a leisurely flight on a nice Saturday not always has to go to the other side of the province or use up min. 25 gal. of fuel ,its nice to use less and have money and time left over to buy lunch and shoot the SH. so if it sound like fun. see ya there



here some pics from when we went in April '08

Here is also the direct link to the pictures Paul K made on Sat May 15 2010 PAULS PICX.

Flying activities

Well, we finally have some decent weather and there are rumours of some good fly-outs being planned (or at least discussed, planned is a word mostly avoided by our group)

I for one would like to see some blog input from more people this season. There are a couple of pilots that do all the posting. This blog was formed to give you all a forum to present your point of view, share interesting stories or for destination suggestions. Please feel free to use it.
