Sun is already shining at the airfield this morning

31st line still closed at Road 78. Power still out in the entire area.

We had a fantastic weekend of activity, prep for this season, check out flights and great soaring conditions.

The airfield is looking great! Club opening next Saturday 3rd April, 10:00am to noon. We expect to complete tow pilot and flight instructor checkouts mid April, followed by licensed club members. Fully operational by May.

Spotted my first turkey vulture today, a sure sign that soaring season is getting close.

Save the date. Saturday April 3rd. 10:00am to noon. Club opening. Removing boards from hangar. Rigging and moving aircraft at a later date TBA.

Airfield is still soft but the snow is gone. Stay tuned for club opening date.
