The Canadian Rockies Ninety-Nines were proud to be part of Vernon Airport Appreciation Days, celebrating an incredible 80 years of Vernon Regional Airport!

Representing our Canadian Rockies Chapter in the South were Betty Lee Longstaff, Roberta Drinkwater, and wang Kelly Sheret. It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate aviation, connect with fellow pilots and aviation enthusiasts, and honour the history and legacy of this special airport.

Spent the day at the Vernon Flying Club for rust remover recurrence training — always a great reminder that there’s never a finish line in aviation learning. Grateful for the opportunity to keep sharpening skills alongside such a welcoming and knowledgeable flying community.

So thankful we were able to hold a Canadian Rockies Ninety-Nines chapter meeting with such a fantastic turnout of members.
