Kingston Flying Club - Social Events





	Upcoming Events: Past Events: FSS Appreciation Day, Kingston - Aug 31, 2010 The Club host a small informal bar-b-que for the greatest FSS group around today and everyone had a good time. The sausages and grilled burgers were there, weird salads and fruit trays showed up - and they all got eaten. It was a split event - the food was hosted at the Air Force Club with the Flying being handled by club members. We had a great time and I think the FSS families did too.

They'd smile and chat with you, but when they had to work - it was like a switch was flipped. Air Canada: xxx, descend to 6,000 ft, no more than 190 kts; American Airlines: xxx, descend to 8,000 ft, keep 250 kts; and on, without stopping. It's all done for spacing when airplanes are on final approach. Meanwhile, we're all gathered around this guy who's the current voice for Toronto's terminal approach control at Nav Canada's Pearson control centre.

One of the yearly traditions Kingston aviators have is to take a flight over the city on New Year’s day as a sort of harbinger of good fortune for the upcoming year. The more pilots we get to fly that day – the better a year for aviation we can expect. Unfortunately, the weather stunk, so we spent our time at the Flying Club - eating. The food and the conversation was great, but we're now wondering what kind of flying year we're going to have.. Kingston Aviation Dinner - Nov 28, 2009 These aviation Christmas dinners are always fun. You eat a lot of good food and then sit around and talk about aviation. That’s a pretty good substitute for flying when the weather outside is terrible. About 100 people showed up again this year for Kingston’s aviation dinner, hosted for the 13^th time by Dave & Lois Tisdale at the Italo-Canadian Club.
