Mel, Cascade Flyers and NGPA board member from Vancouver, was talking about his friends Eli and Bren, also from Vancouver, and their trip to and from Europe in their Cessna 172. Incredible! Mel loaned them survival suits and such for the North Atlantic portion of the crossing. 

The trip is underway right now and can be followed on their blog here.

The Vancouver Sun newspaper ran a story about them and about their trip, you can jump to it here.

The latest follow up story is here.

And, just to make it all even MORE cool - they are traveling with a Spot satellite tracker...so you can monitor their trip overlay-ed on a Google Map.

YVR F-18'S

Mel must like military aircraft, he got a charge from seeing these F-18's at Vancouver International Airport last week. But, Mel, where are the photos of the pilots?

ROGER SUGGESTS NEW LOGO

 
"I was sarcastically think that we should have this graphic as our new logo.  It's educational, it's period, it's romantic and it's hot (sort ov).

...the question now is, what angle of bank does a plane have to execute to have THREE muscled men on the wing?" Answers may be sent directly to Roger or via cascadeflyers@cascadeflyers.org.
