A new Winter Season

Hello to everyone!!

Hello to pilots and friends

Well May is here already,what to do for summer flying. Some people have made plans already were to fly or were to go fishing,these are some big decisions to make as our summer season has limited time. We have to talk about our home builders as well as some of you that have been working on some projects all winter and just eager to get out and see if it was all worth while spending time by yourself or without your wife. Some events that we are planning for June in Timmins are Young Eagles day set for June 12 at the Victor Power Airport. The following week of June 19 we are having a fly-in breakfast weather permitting . Almost forgot to mention about the Inter provincial air tour set for the last week of May,should be lots of fun
