Sunday - Flying day - Demo Flights |
|
| Mike did a few demos in the morning, and Bryan Quickmire, President of National Ultralight, Canada's exclusive Challenger distributor was in attendance did more in the afternoon. Bryan loves to fly people around in Challengers and really enjoyed the change in scenery from all those boring lakes in Ontario! He and the passengers all enjoyed Alberta's many Canola fields, which were in resplendent yellow! | |

All in all, there were 12 Challenger Grins on Sunday! Here's FSK on her 12th two-up, midfield crossover on a 30 degree day at 6,000 foot Density altitudes - not bad in a 503 Challenger! |

The second annual Westebello was held July 18-20 at Wetaskiwin, Alberta (CEX3), site of the 2005 COPA Convention. Wetaskiwin offers a great airport, the Reynolds Alberta Transportation Museum (which is a really awesome "must see" and includes a GREAT Aviation museum), hotels close by, a full service and new campground right across the road, the cheapest AvGas in Alberta, etc.
As always, we had an extremely strong show of support from the Wetaskiwin Airport Operator, and the Reynolds Alberta Museum.
