Hastings Field.

There was a great turnout for the Hastings Field appreciation day and Barbeque. Around 30 airplanes including three from our group. Len Lambert flew a rescue mission for spare parts and the aviation community showed how to work together to help fix a slightly broken airplane.

The food was excellent and on behalf of our group I would like to personally thank the Hastings family for providing the venue.

Airshow 2010

Hi guys, this weekend is the airshow out in Abbotsford. I will be flying in on Saturday morning and putting the Pixie on static display. It would be great to have some of us there to support general aviation, and of course Arnold, who will be there all weekend selling his "snake oil"

Pemberton up-date

Len Lambert has pointed out that the smoke fron the fires around Lillooet which is visible looking toward the mountains,may make a trip to Pemberton not such a good idea. We will be monitoring the situation.

Was asked for more Nimpo Pics, so here they are.

Pemberton for lunch

Hi gang,

Bruce XYR has suggested Pemberton for lunch next Saturday, weather permitting of course. Sounds good to me. Who's up for it?

Nimpo Lake Trip

Spectacular scenery going up Bute inlet with Fred.Also a pic of Nimpo Lake in the Chilcotins on arrival.

Your input please.

Dear All.

I would like ALL pilots reading this blog, to come visit DairyAir!

Perhaps for a BBQ or a corn roast. or even an over-night under the wing camp-out.
Stopping in for coffee is OK too.

How can I make this happen?
All (reasonable) suggestions will be carefully considered.

Thanks for your consideration.

edited to add.....Yay I got the image to load.
