Oct 15, 2006 - KFC Community Fun Fly
We flew 149 people today with eight aircraft - all using 10 pilots. It was
tiring - but we had a ball. While Keith Watson and his better-half
took care of both ticket sales and aircraft dispatch, Dave & Lois
coordinated the food (we made $131.96 there). Gord Brown took the pictures
so the rest of us flew like crazy.
As proceeds from the event went to the Kingston Chief of Police and the
Jeanine Perry Scholarship Fund at St. Lawrence College, some of
Kingston's finest were there - as was Jack Chaing.
The 15-20 minute flight took the members of the public up to 1,500 feet
high, over the city to Fort Henry - and then north to Kingston Mills. At
Kingston Mills we turned around to a long straight-in to runway 25. The
folks at Flight Service kept us all safe and organized.
