Jan 1, 2007: Kingston City Overflight

Nine Kingston Flying Club airplanes took off on our annual Kingston City overflight at around noon on January 1, 2007. All told, twenty people took to the brisk January skies to celebrate an aviation New Years! 

While Dave Tisdale organized the airplanes and the itinerary (see route map below), Lois and Pat organized the food and drink for our return. Spence McKendry happened to be laid-up at KGH hospital so while he couldn't join us, his hospital window overlooks the south side of the City. Well, Dave suggested it just might be worthwhile for us to fly past the hospital on the south side and and dip a wing or two in salute - so we did.

The Flight Service people in Kingston were great. They kept the advisories coming and all of us organized in the air. The fellow had to deal with nine of us at once as well as the scheduled incoming traffic, but he did it quickly and professionally.

Hot Chile, buns, cocoa and friendship ended the outing with lots of post-flight chatter.
