Gillis Bay fly-in at Texada Island

On July 13th 5 Airplanes from King George Airpark headed to Gillies Bay on Texada Island for their annual fly-in. As usual we were treated to wonderful hospitality from Doby and crew. With full stomachs from the pancake breakfast and great lunch BBQ, the attending crowd were treated to two shows from the Fraser Blues demonstration formation team. As for attendees there were a Nanchang, Beavers, a Murphy Moose, three L-19’s and the regular assortment of factory and homebuilt aircraft. CF-BUL made an appearance as well bringing back a flury of childhood memories.
Thanks Doby, we’ll be back next year.

    Hey now that was a nice fly out. Although I wasn’t officially connected with the KGA group, I am a big fan of the field and the aircraft that fly in and out of the strip. PS nice pictures and FYI that was me in GPGG from PFC at ZBB.
