Fly-in tomorrow

Well, It's finally here. The weather man is calling for cloudy skies with sunny periods and a 40% chance of showers.

Both bombers are now in the water. We will be touring people out to them by boat. Same as last year. To avoid any people jumping the queue in line we will be handing out numbered tickets. Make sure that you receive your ticket from our Flying Club rep when you arrive at the bomber base.

Look forward to seeing everyone here tomorrow,

Darren

Three weeks to the Fly-in!

Three more weeks to our annual Fly-in. Thank you to all who have posted our advertisement in either their website or on a bulletin board at their local Flying Club. Your support has been tremendous.

Floatplane Pilots:
If you are coming by floatplane there is limited docking space at the bomber base. If there is no room there, you may want to beach your aircraft at the Provincial Park and then walk over to the base by road. We have a shuttle bus going back and forth between the base and the airport so you can take part in the activities at the airport.


Questions being asked are:

Is there an alternate date in case of rain?

Sorry, we have only one opportunity to do this a year. The event goes ahead rain or shine.

Can I drive to the Fly-in?

Most certainly. All we ask is that you come to the airport first and check in before heading over to the bomber base.

Weather:

I will be in contact with Kamloops FIC the day of the event giving them weather updates. Also check out the weather cam at CBS8 for up to date pictures of the weather. www.weatheroffice.pyr.ec.gc.ca/RVAS/default_e.html?section=wqc

If pilots are interested in coming to Alberni the night before the event contact me at (250)724-9626 and I will arrange a pick up for you at the airport. There are several B&B's at the Lake for people to stay.


See ya there
Darren
