Nimpo Lake fly in

We are getting close to our next trip. The BC Floatplane association annual fly in at Nimpo Lake. Those of you who are going should think about accommodation at the resort as it is definitely an over nighter. Freddie can help here. He flies there every year and knows who to contact.

We are planning a briefing at King George on the weekend of the July 10/11th to make sure that we are all on the same page, and frequency.

Because it can be very turbulent when the air warms up in the afternoon in the area we will be flying, you should plan on leaving King George early, 6/7am.
