August 4 2020 I emailed out a new invite to local flyers to go to Rocky Mountain House Alberta for another bag lunch gathering. From Springbank airport it would be a 45 minute flight for me and it sounded like there might be a couple of others joining me. The view from the plane as I headed NW was of colorful farm fields in shades of green to the pleasing bright yellow of canola fields scattered across the horizon. Nearing Rocky Mountain House the farm fields reduced in numbers to more forested lands along the foothills. We had seven airplanes and nine people attending. The airport has a very nice terminal building and we met the nicest people while there. Some were aerobatic pilots, fuel service personnel, airport management and locals. We have been invited back for two events, a BBQ lunch and a Aerobatic competition later this summer. A special treat for me was to meet one of my flight instructors who I had not seen in 30 years and now fly's professionally and fly's aerobatics. It was a wonderful day with fantastic people. Thanks to all who attended and to those we were lucky enough to meet.
