I’m still not clear on how, when and why we’ll be posting “Blogs” vs. Newsletters … but it shall be what it shall be.

Check out the Newsletter Index page for the link to the latest (finally!) AvGas update – Fall 2013 – for a recap of all that’s been going on around CYCD NFC.

Cheers

Larry Berg, longtime denizen of CYCD, flew his last departure recently.  Anyone who has spent time at the EAA Prop Wash Hotel at the south end, sharing “stories” with Larry, will miss his constant presence and gentle laughter.

So, this upcoming Wednesday (August 21st), please join us at the Larry Burger and Beer night. Come out for 6 pm.  Burgers and trimmings will be supplied.  You’ll provide your own beverages and we’ll spend some informal time sharing memories of Larry.

Call Gord Henne for more details. Pass the word to anyone who may not have yet heard of Larry’s passing. Thanks.

Although the skies were a little cloudy, and only a few brave souls flew in, that didn’t dampen the spirits of those attending the August (first Saturday of the month) fly in.

Loraine and Grant Howatt — still working together after “all these years” — and loving it!

Mr. Ice Cream himself, our president, Don Crocker, hard at work over a hot scoop!

We had a great turn out to the monthly fly in. Here are a few photos:

(I’m still figuring out how to get stuff efficiently from my iPad to the blog… thanks for your patience)

Our recently acquired C-172 VBA is ready to fly and looking for flyers. If you’ve ever run the numbers regarding the true cost of owning an airplane vs. renting, then you know what a great opportunity this is. Even owners of two-seater aircraft, such as yours truly, are considering the rental group to have access to a four place aircraft.

Contact Andrea for information.

P.S. I’ve been thinking up acronyms to match the aircraft registration. If you have any ideas you’d like to contribute, pass them along. If we get enough maybe we’ll turn it into a contest and vote for the favorites…
