August 7, Edenvale Aerodrome, Stayner ON (CNV8): Gathering of the Classics.

We'd like to invite you back to the "Gathering of the Classics" at Edenvale Airport, August 07 (rain date Aug. 08), this year.
There will be an air conditioned Hospitality Room, free coffee and snacks at the Registration tent, and Free Lunch for visiting pilots by the renowned new "Fud" restaurant in the terminal.

Plus trophies for Best Aircraft in Show-Publics Choice and Best Aircraft in Show-Pilots Choice.

We've made some changes to make your participation simpler and more enjoyable. First, there's a new Arrival Procedure (download Arrivals Procedure PDF). It's very simple; nothing more than arranging your route to start over a nearby village, then follow in-trail to the airport for a completely normal overhead-the-field circuit entry. This should help in the spacing-out of traffic in the simplest way possible.

Plus the new 4000 ft runway 13-31 has been linked-up with runway 08-26, so the landing traffic flow will be greatly simplified (see attached). Also, a new grass surface has been worked-up beside runway 31, so the ECAF Tiger Moth will be flying the same circuit as everyone else.

It's the largest Fly-in of Classic and Vintage aircraft in Ontario, plus we've arranged for the CWH B-25 Mitchell to attend, plus the VWoC Curtiss P-40 Kittyhawk fighter (has dual-controls) and DH 83 Fox Moth (which was owned by HRH King Edward in the '30s), and Harvards from the CHAA. All these aircraft (including the fighter!) are available for shared flights. Plus of course dozens of interesting Classic, vintage, experimental, ultralight aircraft.

A high-power base-station radio will be set up this year, so that Airport Advisories will be heard at greater range.
Volunteers are always welcome, of course! We are always looking for folks who'd like to help out.

We hope we see you there!

Interested volunteers or for further info call Robin (705) 309-3007 or email info@classicaircraft.ca
