That goes for me too even if I got there late I had a great time, thank you all responsible for this event :D

[Andrew Fernie]

I agree, it was a great day. Thank you to everyone for their participation, and particularly those who helped with purchasing the supplies, cooking the lunch, keeping the flight lines flowing smoothly, taking visitors up for demo flights with the club trainer, flying demo flights at the lunch time break, selling raffle tickets, etc., etc., etc...

It was tough to count the number of pilots, but I did count 41 airplanes and 21 helicopters at lunch time.

There were a few people taking photos throughout the day. I am looking forward to seeing them.

Until next year!

Excellent job to all the volunteers...

This was my first funfly as a memeber.
Great day for sure.

Afriendly and helpful club. Just what I wanted.

I attended, saw some great plane and helis, great show and stunts put on by the Pilots.
So inspired I bought Ron's Avistar Trainer and hope to be on the field soon after signing up and of course under guidance.
Thanks to the Club to make newbies feel welcome!
Also thanks to Nabil for the grand overview and explainations.
All the Best,
M. Jenkins

My family and I had a lot of fun.

Many thanks to the volunteers and demo pilots!

My 10 and 6 year olds however, insist the candy drop be reinstated next year or there will be a boycott! :)
