Postwar, a grateful Department of National Defence
gave the club six Tiger Moths, a Stinson 105 plus a
Cessna Crane.
Another military training aircraft used by the club was
the DHC Chipmunk, one example of which (CF-CXS)
was briefly loaned by the RCAF to the club in the late
1940s.
Over the next 50 years, the club has used aircraft
ranging from Cessna 120s, Taylorcraft and various
Piper products. And this summer will see the club
training a batch of air cadets to do what it's been
doing for about 97 years: to fly. "It's great to see them
learning to fly," said Ray, adding: "Who knows where
it will lead?"
