Sunday January 1st, 2012 - New Years Day City Fly-over

Every year the club hosts a City Fly-over on the morning of January 1st. The route typically has us flying over the city and then around the outer perimeter of Wolfe Island. Tradition has it, that if you fly this event, then you'll have good luck for the remainder of the year. Well, this year we had over 40 people cheering on the New Year which blew in here on a rather cloudy, rainy day. That said, six airplanes took to the sky around 11:00 am to welcome in a new aviation year. See a few pictures by clicking the New Years button to the right..

Friday, Nov 18, 2011 - Private Career College, Ribbon cutting

Today the Kingston Flying Club hosted an official ribbon cutting ceremony with city officials and the Mayor in attendance. About 40 people in total gathered in front of the Club's hangar while our own Club member, Phillip Brown acted as MC for the event. Phillip introduced club president Dave Barton, our CFI, Tony Tiefenbach, our MPP for Kingston and the Islands (John Gerretsen), - and then later Mark Gerretsen (John's son), each of whom said a few words of congratulations.  In spite of it being a rather blustery November afternoon everyone had a good time. Indeed, our youngest student pilot helped cut the ribbon. See pictures by clicking on the College button at right..

Saturday, Sept 17, 2011 - Nov 17, 2011 - Fuel System Upgrade

Dave Barton started digging the foundation for the Club's new fuel system today. The new 10,000 litre tank will be placed above ground at the west end of the property and will conform to all the new regulatory requirements. Once the new system is up and running the old system will be shut off and a fund raising effort started to pay for it's removal. Estimated removal costs are around $10,000.

Friday, November 11, 2011 - Remembrance Day Fly-by

Our CFI, Tony Tiefenbach has organized a Remembrance day fly-by of the downtown Kingston cenotaph using two Club airplanes and two other privately owned machines. Oct 28 was our first practice run with Skuby - from Canada's Snowbirds who provided a play-by-play on how the process is best accomplished - and how it's done safely. Kudos to both Tony and Skuby for making this happen. See the button at right for pictures..

Saturday, Sept 3, 2011 - New signs

Mike Hill, Dave Barton and Al Baldry spent the day erecting new Flying Club signs. The posts went in on Sept 3rd and the signs went up after the cement dried on the following Tuesday. Lorne took a few pictures that can been by using the New Signs button to the right..

Saturday, September 10, 2011 - KFC Parry Sound Fly-out

We had four airplanes and ten people involved in one of the more enjoyable fly-outs in recent memory. Parry Sound played host to a rather large and well organized event which included vintage airplanes, cars, live music and food. So Tony put together a deal whereby airplane renters or students could each fly a leg of the journey and then continue on as a passenger for the remainder of the trip. The trip route took AIQ from Kingston to Peterborough, to Parry Sound - and then the same in reverse.

Ian Anderson was good enough to act as the instructor for the day. Avery Wagg took POO up with a passenger and Gord Lendrum joined in with ZKT on his way up to Sudbury.
