[Wing] Nelson

[Micheal Freund]

A request went out two weeks ago asking for responses to an invitation to attend the July 23/24 Nelson BC "Flight Fest".I realize it is  early for people to make commitments at this time,However it would be useful to us making plans at this time regarding hotel vacancies and airport arrangements to get some idea of interest for this event.
As previously stated,The Nelson airport supporters are in a struggle against some who want to close the airport in favour of commercial redevelopment of the airport lands.As most of you know airport closures happen all too often.There are currently five helicopter companies operating from here,as well as a licensed repair and maintenace operator,and in addition  the active fourty member Nelson pilot's association.The Nelson airport has a number of features making Nelson an attractive destination.Nelson is a popular tourist area and central to numerous other attractions in the area.The coming months between now and the municipal elections in November will be a crucial time,and the Nelson Pilot's Association will be giving all we have in our effort to keep the airport from being closed.The Nelson Flight Fest will include some interesting groups in attendance, among them the Montana antique aircraft association and aircraft from CFB Comox.I would urge all of you who see this invitation to respond either to this site or to my own email address mifreund at netidea.com to indicate your interest in attending our Flight Fest,even if your intentions are tentative.

Thanks
Mike Freund
