Promoting the safe enjoyment of aviation for pilots, aircraft builders and enthusiasts.
The author expresses frustration with the prolonged winter in Alberta, contrasting it to previous challenging weather experiences in Newfoundland. He reminisces about a 1992 flight from Newfoundland to Oshkosh with memories of weather delays, customs complications, and learning during the journey, ultimately finding joy in the current sunny weather.
In May, promising weather accompanied successful events like the Sundre Mother’s Day fly-in, featuring nearly 200 aircraft. Despite poor weather thereafter, training progressed with almost complete night rating hours. The author reflects on a vintage Hawker Hurricane, once played on as a child, now set to appear at Oshkosh, rekindling family aviation ties.
