Beautiful weekend to fly

airport

The Drumheller Municipal Airport had a surprisingly busy weekend, and pilots from all over the province enjoyed the beautiful day of flying. One visitor was the pilot of this unique Long-EZ, a home-built creation designed by aviation legend Burt Rutan. Catherine Bonneville of the airport said 28 airplanes dropped by. Of them, six enjoyed a trip into town, and two overnighted in the valley. They also sold 695 litres of fuel. Sunday was a good day as well, with 17 planes stopping in.
