The InterProvincial Air Tour was very successful.

The restaurant was packed from early morning until well after noon. Between 30 and 40 planes
landed at the terminal. The weather kept the numbers down from the estimated 55-60 planes forecasted.

The president of COPA, Kevin Psutka, presented a plaque to the Saugeen Municipal Airport for their
tremendous support of aviation. We were described as a top notch rural airport by the President. There
were pilots present from Sudbury, Quebec and Michigan as well as all over southern Ontario.

As Chair of SMA I would like to thank COPA for the recognition and Phil Englishman for his efforts
regarding this fly in.I would like to see more of these events as they attract many people and provides us
with an opportunity to showcase our great airport.

Celebrating the Centennial of Flight.

Saturday evening at 6p.m. hundreds of people arrived to see the B-25
as it descended on the Saugeen Municipal Airport landing strip. Many armed
with cameras, were forced to park outside the airport property as vehicles filled the
parking lot and lined the entire roadway, on both sides, leading to the terminal.

A tremendously successful event that spilled over to Sunday.

On Sunday morning tours were provided by the pilot to dozens of eager
adults and excited children revelled in the history of the B-25. This was the
bomber used to retaliate against the bombing of Pearl Harbour on Dec 7, 1941.

The many superbly attired cadets added to the event that celebrated 100 years
of aviation.
