2024-07-13 OKA Flying


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.

2023-10-01 Member Fun Fly


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!
