It's hard to believe we're already at my favourite time to fly: autumn. I enjoy the bird’s-eye view of the fields as harvest is in full swing, or to fly over the forests with vibrant colours just before the leaves hit the ground. In Manitoba, I hope it'll still be a while before the snow flies.
As I write this, in Manitoba, we continue to fly well into November, without seeing snow. It’s been a fantastic autumn for aviation. In fact, one flight school said they broke a standing multiple-decade record for flight hours in October!
Raquel Lincoln, EAA Lifetime 1306824, Chair, EAA Canadian Council
I’d like to introduce the newest addition to our EAA Canadian Council, Kathy Lubitz, EAA 640605. Kathy has been a private pilot for more than 45 years and an ultralight flight instructor for more than 30. She has also been involved with Canadian homebuilt aircraft, and, along with her husband, finished a Pietenpol Air Camper powered by a Ford Escort engine. In 2008 and 2009, they built a full-size Silver Dart replica with Mark Taylor and other friends. This was a featured display in the old Federal Pavilion at AirVenture in 2009. The aeroplane is now in the Air Force Museum in Trenton, Ontario. Kathy is the president of the Ultralight Pilots Association of Canada (UPAC), the national
voice for Canadian ultralight pilots. Kathy is an active member of EAA Chapter 115. We greatly appreciated Kathy's contributions to our Canadian pavilion at AirVenture and look forward to her contributions to the council.
Kathy Lubitz, our newest board member
If you are ever invited to attend an EAA IMC/VMC Club meeting, I definitely recommend that you take advantage of the opportunity. Our Chapter 63 holds them monthly. The video scenarios presented prompt a great deal of meaningful discussion - for experienced pilots all the way to students. You can contact me at chair.EAACC@gmail.com.
In the new year, we'll begin to provide details for AirVenture 2025, so stay tuned. Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2025!
