In recognition of the Airpark's 60th. anniversary, we opened our gate to the public on Saturday Sep. 21st.
Several Airpark members had their aircraft on view. An information booth with historical photos dating back to the Airpark's birth in 1964 as well as a display board showing the various present-day activities the Airpark supports, were included.
Undoubtedly, the star attractions were the Pipistrel fully-electric training aircraft flown in from Campbell River (thanks Sealand Flight!) and the free ice cream for all (thanks Mo!)
With minimal advertising for the event attendance was somewhat sparse but as the compressed video below shows, a steady trickle of citizens did come through the gate for a look.
We appreciate the public's interest in our effort to reach out to the community and will consider making the Open House an annual event.
