August 14 2020 We were off in the morning to meet up with a few flyers in Medicine Hat Alberta. I had a errand to deliver something to my wife's brother there and thought we could make it another bag lunch flyin affair. I made contact with a flyer who lives there and he agreed, he and another homebuilt aircraft owner would show us their airplanes and hangars. Melvin Reister has a RV7 and a Glasair and Allen Rose has a RV7. These two fellows were amazing to talk with and hear all about their amateur built aircraft. The details of importing from the USA and having them signed off for Canada was very interesting and quite a simple and inexpensive process. We had three planes from Springbank head out at various departures to meet in Medicine Hat at around 1130. Weather was totally clear and temperature was forecast to be about 24c. Winds were forecast to be light but that was not what we received. The NW wind came up in the morning and was about 15-20 knots which gave us a nice push on the way SE but was slower on the homeward heading. Brian in his Cardinal, Ralph in his RV7 and myself. Mel and Allen were kind enough to also offer us the very nice COPA flight club house to eat our lunches and talk aviation. Here is a peek.
