Flying and Saskatoonberry Pie

mapleleaf4ever · #1 (**permalink**) Oct 13, 04

Today my friend and I took his plane from Delta Airpark and flew to Chilliwack for their famous Pie. It was a wonderful day for flying... and the Spicy Fries and Saskatoonberry Pie were damn tasty. We had a bit of an interesting ride back as it was too dark to see the Runway at Delta Airpark, so we had to divert to Boundary Bay, but it wasn't too much of a big deal. Anyways, first time in like a month and a half since I've been up so it's been a good day. :D

fuck yeah

Saskatoon berry pie is GREAT. My dad's ex-fiancee had relatives in Saskatoon - when I was a kid they used to go out there and bring back like 4 or 5 pies, and a whole bunch of jam. YUMMMMMM

I had lunch at the Wack airport last week. Lots of helicopter activity.

Once I had cofee there with someone from White Rock who flew in his Vari-Eze. When he wanted to take off I held down the nose of his plane while he pushed the tail prop to get it started, and someone else cut back the throttle in case it started too fast. Took him 7 years to build this plane and it's a beauty. If he was flying at the peak of Mount Baker & his engine stopped, he could glide back to Vancouver airport.

^ I think I know the exact plane you're talking about... it's hangared at Boundary Bay. He never buys Fuel from us though. I think he gets it at Delta Airpark where it's cheaper.

Yes that's the one. I once went to the Sunday morning fly-in breakfast at Delta AirPark and that pilot gave me a nice tour. The artist Toni Onley was there (he crashed his floatplane in the Fraser last spring). Lots of interesting people, and their planes.

Oh yah, I was working at Boundary Bay still when that happened. The Aviation Community in the Lower Mainland is pretty close knit. I'm friends with a couple of the Guys that crashed in a Cessna 172 (C-GDPD) they survived... quite the interesting stories they had. I also know the Guy that owns the Red Harvard (the Red Knight) that you see at the Abbotsford Airshow every year.
