2014 Flying Season is Underway!

Although there was still snow in the woods and around the hangars GGC, we managed to start our annual checkouts for both tow pilots (Martin, Jarek and Tom) and glider instructors (Gord, Tom, Karl & yours truly…).

 As you can see from the photo below, runway 26 was clear and allowed for takeoffs and landings on the asphalt.

Although we are now operational for 2014, it will be quite a while before the farm fields between Pendleton and Bourget are ready for planting.

The photo above shows the high water level in the fields along the road to Bourget. On Saturday the water along this road was within 10 cm of asphalt (yikes!).
