MY FATHER WAS AWARDED HIS PILOT WINGS AT PETREL ON NOV 30 1943 LOGGING 222 HOURS 50 MINS.HE WAS BASED AT RAF CARBERRY TRAINING ON AVRO ANSONS.HE IS NOW 89,HE LATER WENT ONTO LANCASTERS.HE STAID IN THE RAF UNTIL APRIL 1955 THEN BECAME AN AIRLINE PILOT RETIRING IN MAY 1983
For several years, I have had OHAP as a base, flying a Cessna 150, C-FLUG. presently for sale. What's special about this private airport? The parking terrain and runway are very solid and well maintained. Some services available; best to phone first one of three numbers listed in Canada Flight Supplement 2011. LEON WOYCHUK is the local AME with a hangar at the SouthEast of the field. He has serviced my plane for several years. I can vouch for his quality workmanship. You are welcome for a fly-in visit.
Landed at CYWG this afternoon and parked my Cherokee at the Avitat. The first time I looked out the window, they were fueling my plane; the second time I looked, they were washing my windshield, as if it were a 1950s gas station!
Meanwhile, the woman at the desk found me a hotel room (nice hotel, very inexpensive), a taxi, and a list of vegetarian restaurants, and didn't even require my credit card in advance (as most FBOs do).
