Re: 2025 Yorksgiving Dinner

Happy to see this tradition continue under new chefs this year.

I'll be there probably Thursday to start and help with preparations. I'll make my apple pie if Rob makes his fudge.

Re: Noteworthy flights 2025

Adding to this, Ryan just flew his first 5 hour flight on Monday, in the DG500 - one step closer to his Silver C.

Congratulations, Ryan!

Re: Smoke forecast website

Interestingly, the forest fire danger for most of Ontario is quite low for this time of year, and there are no active fire restrictions imposed by the MNR.

Re: FLIGHT SHEETS

Probably a good idea. They're cheaper, too.

Unless Dave has any objections.

Re: Circuits

I'll add that I've received three reports expressing concern about low circuits through our reporting system for the 5th to the 7th of this month. Several members are concerned, not just the previous poster.

Re: FLIGHT SHEETS

I disagree with expecting line chiefs and/or flight recorders to recall every individual guest and student's financial arrangement with the club. Many line chiefs are already overwhelmed and this doesn't help. Their concern should be limited simply to whether or not payment has been made, not the ex...

Re: THANKS ..... WEEKEND AIRPORT DAY(s) for the PUBLIC 21st/22nd June

I would also like to thank Hugh for handling intro payments and waivers both days (not a particularly "fun" task), and our tow pilots - it was not a fun day to be stuck in a small aircraft behind a 235 horsepower engine with that worlkload all day. Also generally the Township of Wellington...

Re: Golf carts

Okay, fair enough, but a few things to consider then: What will be inspected? We'll need some kind of "official" checklist. Doug's suggestions in the first post in this thread I think are good. What is the training criteria for golf cart DIs? Who is qualified to check people out for it? Ho...
