CO-CAPTAIN's MESSAGE:
Happy Flying! Harold Fry co-Captain COPA Flight #68 CYVV |
On April 22, Lorne Schroeder and I flew down to Hanover/Saugeen Airport (CPN4) to meet new managers, Kim & Phil Mullin. 
On a sad note, we say good-bye to manager extraordinare Carol Little of Kincardine. As of May 31, Carol and Dave say goodbye to the Kincardine Airport, and prepare to move into their new home, about 5 km South of Kincardine.
When I first heard from Carol their decision to move on, I went looking through my photo archives for some of the pictures I have taken over the years. Kincardine has always supported the Platinum Triangle Poker Run, hosting the event in 2004. They did a super job, raising over $2500 of which the local Air Cadets & a Riding Academy for physically challenged children benefited from.
It was always fun to hear from Carol & Dave of their world traveling trips, whether it be Japan, the British Isles, or most recently, Australia.|
