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.

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.

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.
