Our activity is so weather-dependent and the weather is so changeable, that our flying sessions are usually planned on pretty short notice.

If you'd like to have some company when you fly, you can easily start a flying session by scrolling to the bottom of this page and clicking on "Leave a reply" to this Topic. Just indicate the day, and time that you intend to arrive at the field, and invite other members to join you.

Or, you can "Leave a reply" to accept another person's invitation to form a flying session. People intending to join in should post a Reply, because multiple Replies fuel additional interest.

To "Leave a reply", you will need log in to the Message Board using the username and password that were issued to you. If you've lost them, you can use the lost your password functionality to trigger a password reset - if you do not see a response within a few minutes, be sure to check your Junk/SPAM folder for the password reset email.

If you are not able to complete a reset because your registered email address is not current you can either register with a new username OR Contact our Website Administrator Tim Glover <tglover51@hotmail.com> for additional assistance.

Note that new registrations require manual administrative review so there may be an additional delay if you choose this option.

Forecast looks pretty good for the early morning. I plan to arrive about 8 AM and fly electric glider for a couple of hours.

The Superforecast looks pretty good for Thursday. I hope to get to the field around 8 AM.
Thank you Mike Sherlaw for getting our NOTAM's existence extended for an additional 3 months. That NOTAM's availability to us would otherwise have expired on August 16. Note that we must continue to activate the NOTAM for each flying session, by phoning ATM (Same as we have been doing it up to now).

Postscript: As soon as the fog cleared today, I made two flights. Then I went home before I melted from the heat.

The original NOTAM which we have been operating under, has expired. The NOTAM which now replaces it is unchanged, except for the NOTAM number which is now 160355 instead of the former 160160 .
The air traffic controller who answers your call may or may not be aware of this numbering change yet, so be prepared to explain.

You can view the new NOTAM by going to https://flightplanning.navcanada.ca/cgi-bin/Fore-obs/notam.cgi
(Enter CYHM for Aerodrome ID, and checkmark the boxes "Aerodrome NOTAM File" and "Local NOTAM only").

I've updated the field log-book with a copy of the new NOTAM, and I've added some explanatory comments in the log-entry section.

The forecast for both Friday and Saturday looks pretty good. My current plan is to be on the field by 8 AM Friday morning, after breakfast at north Caledonia Tim's. Yum Yum.

Postscript: Here's a later look at the forecast ... Saturday looks good too.

Yes Fri and Sat look pretty good but Sat looks more favourable and likely more folks. So will be at the field Sat morning 9:30ish.
