Past 2008 Events:

April 26, 2008 - Spring Hangar Clean-up & Kitchen clean-up

The hangar clean-up went well today with 9 volunteers making it happen.  Dave Barton and Joe did some real plumbing work in the kitchen, while 7 others made short work of the hangar clean-up.  It’s not the 23 volunteers we got last fall, but we still got ‘er done. 

Dave moved the refrigerator out the door so we’ll call the City to take it away in the next couple of days. Needless to say, we’re going to need a replacement fridge.  If you’ve got a good spare one sitting idle, we’d love to hear from you.  We can’t afford to pay a lot of money – so it’ll be some number less than $10,000.

The kitchen upgrades are necessary if the Club is ever going to do fly-in breakfasts again. Dave and company are working to bring the kitchen up to snuff.  What we need now are slaves (volunteers), who might commit to a monthly fly-in breakfast schedule. Please email me back if you think you might be able to help out in that area. This is a monthly thing – not, like, one breakfast a year.

Feb 24, 2008 - Fly-out to Brockville

Sunday's weather was indeed permitting - so five small airplanes + one big one (Barry and Dan flew the new Cessna 421 in), arrived hungry. Brockville fed us well. Kudos to those folks there.

Jan 13, 2008 - Kingston City Overflight & Paulina's

Our first flight of the year, although 13 days late, was a great success. (thanks Denis for the suggestion) We had 5 aircraft fly with 12 people on board. A good start to the new year.

Second item, the 50/50 draw was made before the flight. Congratulations to Lorne Judge who won $39 and the other half to the club. Thanks for everyone who participated. We will keep this going with tickets available at the club with the next draw to take place on Wed Jan 23rd at the next coffee night. (Thanks John De Ruiter for suggesting we do this.)

Jan 1, 2008 - Kingston City Overflight

While the blowing snow kept everyone on the ground a good turnout of club members kept the conversation and future flying flying going.
