The weather for our Father's Day fun fly was terrific and the attendance from both members and their guests was even better. A huge thank you to Rob Davidson who did so much to put the successful event together, from preparation of the Old Kimberley Airport field to shopping for, preparing and cooking the delicious BBQ lunch. Your contributions to the club are truly appreciated.

A wide variety of aircraft took to the skies and a great time was had by all. Thank you to everyone that showed up and made the day a success. So much fun was had that the day ended with a decision to have two more this year, one in August and one in October. Looking forward to them!

On a cold and overcast Friday afternoon the Old Kimberley Airport was buzzing with aircraft in the air. New airplanes from the holiday season took to the skies for lots of fun and laughs. It is amazing how fun and durable the small foam models are!

Richard also brought out his favorite trainer the E-flite Apprentice STS and buddy boxed with Gavin and Enzo to show the difference full 4-channel control makes. "This is awesome" was heard many times.

Derek, Richard, Dawson, Gavin and Enzo had cold fingers by the end, but big smiles too.

Our annual Fall fun fly was held on Saturday, September 21, 2024. It was a beautiful day and we had an amazing turn out of members and guests. Every type of aircraft was represented, from gliders to helicopters to fixed wing to sport and FPV drones. Even a quad plane that thinks its a drone with vertical take-off!

Many introductory flights were had and the E-flite Apprentice was the star of the day. It is a perfect starter and trainer airplane.

A huge thank you to all the members and volunteers that made this event so successful!

Discussions are in the works to add an annual Spring fun fly in addition to the Fall event. Watch for details in the new year.

Our annual member fun fly will be held on Saturday, September 21, 2024. We look forward to a BBQ and lots of good flying at the Rampart field.

Sunday was a beautiful day at the OKA field with lots of sun and almost no wind. Kevin brought out a plane and two helicopters. A small 1:30 scale ERA C138 that is destined for his grandson and a much larger version for himself.

Rundle, a future member of the club, introduced everyone that was present to the exciting sport of FPV flying with his custom built drone. Rundle captured some amazing video of the other aircraft flying and also demonstrated his skills flying through a loop on the ground.

Shaun, the grandson of founding club member Al Ritchie had several great flights, as did Rob and Richard with their aircraft.

A small group was out flying at the Old Kimberley Airport on Saturday, June 13th. The weather and visibility was perfect and we started early at 8:00 AM to beat the heat.

A special guest from Ontario, Hudson, aged 10, had an introductory flight session. Richard brought his E-flite Apprentice STS 1.5m plane which is a perfect trainer and beginner aircraft for anyone starting out in the hobby. Hudson was a natural pilot and flew like like a pro, including performing loops, rolls, landing circuits and several nice landings. Hudson left excited about the hobby and will surely be asking for a plane for his birthday.

The photo gallery has been updated with some photos from our flying session in May.

Our member fun fly, originally planned for Saturday, September 30, was held on Sunday, October 1, 2023. The weather on Saturday was cold with rain all day. Sunday brought absolutley perfect flying weather that was warm and sunny with little to no wind. The event was well attended by both existing and new members. Many different aircraft took to the air including Al with his glider, Kevin with his Night Timber and Eratix, Darryl with his DJI drone, Bob with his nitro trainer and Richard with his Apprentice, Night Timber and Sig 4-Star 40. We all enjoyed a delicious BBQ while taking in the sunshine.

We look forward to an even bigger event next year!
