Well, it sure looks like we’re in for a great spring this year. Warm weather this week promises many early season flights. Unfortunately, the past two months have been a bit of a bust for me as I always seem to be away when the weather turns VFR and in town for the fog. Of course, there was the three weekends that the plane was in the shop getting its retrofit. Wouldn’t you know – they were great VFR weekends!

The last weekend of February was perfectly CAVU with little or no wind. With the plane back in the air and the annual banquet keeping us in town, I was able to take full advantage of the weather.

Saturday was spent working with Stu at Kirkby’s place playing for the camera. Stu and Robin are working on a new club film with many of our club planes being the stars.

Sunday was spent touring around the Calgary area. I had a beautiful flight, starting in the foothills west of Springbank’s control area, then down to High River for a touch and go, on to Chestemere for another touch and go, and then back to Carstairs. The total for the weekend was five hours!

Filming for the CRUFC video continued this past weekend with one of the pictures gracing the cover of this newsletter. If you’re interested in getting involved, contact Stu Simpson or Robin Orsulak for details.

This month I’ll leave you with an interesting trivia question suggested by Ed D’Antoni. I’ll publish the answer next month or you can check on our website for the answer…
