Rescue


Two of the airplanes from our flying group piloted by Jock Bray and Greg Stump landed on a sandbar on the Fraser this past weekend to assist an unfortunate pilot who had ran off the sandbar and flipped his Cesna 150 into the river. The pilot was cold and wet but uninjured. As the pilots cell phone was waterlogged, Jock called the RCMP, SAR and the pilots wife. Other aircraft soon landed to help and the Ultralights returned to king George. Good job guys.

TEXADA FLY IN 2012

Hi there group. I have just heard from Bob Timms regarding Texada fly in 2012. The date has been set for Sunday July 15 and the organisers have kindly offered to help with rides or accomodation searches. I know this is early days but it is just nice to think about the Summer.

See you all at the Big Ridge tomorrow.
