We’re Go for Gliding!

Today’s gliding has NOT been cancelled and we’re good to go for 9am at Welland Airport. See previous posts for dress and recommended bring-along items. The gliding centre has indicated that cadets showing up with light jackets will NOT be permitted on the airfield, so bundle up! See you there!

Gliding Forecast

Good evening.

I received a message from Maj Norio at the Gliding Centre indicating that the chances of cancellation for gliding tomorrow are 50/50. They’re going to do a final evaluation no later than 0745h (7:45am) and will make a decision then. I will ensure that a final go/no-go notice is posted no later than 0800h (8:00am) tomorrow morning, so keep an eye out for it. Fingers are crossed!

Gliding Tomorrow

Tomorrow morning, weather permitting, we’ll be gliding at Niagara Central Airport in Welland. Priority goes to level two cadets, and to those who have yet to have a flight.

The forecast for tomorrow is cold (6ºC) weather with a 30% chance of snow/rain. It’s very possible that we’ll have to cancel early in the morning, so check the web site before you leave.

Dress is civilian, but bring your cadet parka, liner, gloves, toque, a warm sweater, jeans, and running shoes. To prevent boredom while waiting, a backpack with water/drink, snacks, music and a book is advised, too.

Meet at the Terminal building. DO NOT attempt to cross over into the airfield alone. The SOGC staff will come collect you from the terminal.

If you have transportation trouble and need to carpool, please contact me at (905) 468-7584 to make arrangements.
