Sun is already shining at the airfield this morning
31st line still closed at Road 78. Power still out in the entire area.
We had a fantastic weekend of activity, prep for this season, check out flights and great soaring conditions.

Airfield continues to be very wet with all the rain we have received. No flying this weekend.
The airfield is still wet and very soft in areas. No flying today. Flight operations resume 2 October.
Fantastic conditions today at the airfield. Now all we need is you! See you out here.
Flight operations resume this morning. Great to have our tow plane back in action.
We are down a tow plane. Flight operations have stopped while we correct the situation. Thank you for your understanding.
Club member checkouts continue. Students are now flying as well. We expect to welcome guests with Step 2 of the provincial reopening.
The clinic scheduled for this weekend is cancelled. All in person activities at the airfield will cease until the new provincial restrictions are lifted. Stay safe out there.
Rigging / derigging clinic for members this Saturday 17th April, 9:00-noon. Club aircraft G103 Twin Astir, and G102 Astir CS. Please advise if planning to attend due to limited spaces available.
What a whirlwind of announcements in Ontario this past week. If only we could harness that energy and go soaring. London Soaring is currently closed to guests while we navigate the next 4+ weeks. Membership does have its privileges. Join us and find out.
The planned club opening for this Saturday 3rd April is cancelled. Stay tuned for updates.
The airfield is looking great! Club opening next Saturday 3rd April, 10:00am to noon. We expect to complete tow pilot and flight instructor checkouts mid April, followed by licensed club members. Fully operational by May.
Spotted my first turkey vulture today, a sure sign that soaring season is getting close.
Save the date. Saturday April 3rd. 10:00am to noon. Club opening. Removing boards from hangar. Rigging and moving aircraft at a later date TBA.

Airfield is still soft but the snow is gone. Stay tuned for club opening date.
Anyone working towards their bronze badge or cross country flying should watch the SOSA Hangar Talk this Sunday 7th March, Landing Out by Chris Wilson
Another AGM in the books. Great turnout today in a virtual setting. Lots of enthusiasm as we head into the new flying season.
