        Well the snow has started to disappear (finally) and it    Letters to the Editor
        looks and sounds like spring is in the air.

        It is time for the aerial applicators to start prepping their
        equipment as well as the air show pilots, air tanker pilots   Canadian Aviation Historical Society
        and all the engineers that keep them flying.

        I also think that this is the time to reflect on the reason   AVRO Museum
        we enjoy aviation and what it brings to our lives.  There
        are all kinds of regulations and rules, and education on   Prairie Heritage Airshow Society
        changes, revisions and updates do cause a bit of stress,
        but it allows us all to remain safe around the aircraft we   Canadian Aerospace Artists
        love and we enjoy aviation for the sheer joy of flight.

        Not all of us will soar like the birds, those of us on the
        ground will forever look up and dream, just like those
        before us and also those that follow in our footsteps.     Movie of the Month – Sole Survivor

        We look forward to making new friends at events and        Model Ace – Removing and Repositioning Parts

        wings and soar high above us.                              Did You Know?

        I look forward to this coming season of aviation and the   Alberta Aviation Museum-
        many stories that will come anew.
