Air View Of South Okanagan

Every Year Snow Birds from across Canada come to spend their winter in Osoyoos BC. In March a breakfasts is held for each different province. They are filled to capacity with 200 participants. Door prizes are given out and there is a 50/50 draw. It is great to meet people from your home province.

At the Manitoba Breakfast one of the door prizes was a  plane ride over the Okanagan Valley by Ken  Pierce from Minolta, MB in his 1979 Cessna.

Thanks to Vickie McAllister, the winner, who asked Valerie McRae and I to be her guests on the 45 minute flight. It was a good day as it was sunny with only a few clouds.

At 3:00 pm we all met at the Osoyoos Air Strip on Highway 3 west of the town

While we were up enjoying the view, John McRae, Len McAllister and Randal waited at the Osoyoos air strip. They watched as we boarded the Cessna.
