4th Annual Cardston Fly-In

The morning of June 5th brought beautiful blue skies and a perfect day for a fly-in! After being weathered out the last few years, the members of the Cardston Flying Club were relieved to see good weather! With almost 100 people in attendance and 22 planes to enjoy, the Fly-In was definitely a success. Breakfast was excellent (as usual) - thank you to all those who helped cook, serve and clean up.

We would like to thank our local political representatives for supporting our efforts at the airport. We were happy to see in attendance: Cardston's mayor, Rick Schow; Town counselor, Dave Smith; and a representative of the Wildrose Alliance party, Paul Hinman.

It was gratifying to see planes fly in from all over Alberta including: Airdrie, Fort MacLeod, Glenwood, Hillspring, Calgary, Medicine Hat, Okotoks, and Springbank. The long distance award goes to the pilot from Provo, Utah!

Enjoy some photos from the day!
