Strong winds from the north this evening, so runway 31 at CYPQ was used along with a short field takeoff technique. I wanted to fly circuits but continuous circuits aren’t permitted on this runway at CYPQ so I headed to CNF4 to use their runway 31 and avoid strong crosswinds during landings and takeoffs. I …
Our mechanic Jason and his young apprentice were busy at the Beyond Blue Aerospace hangar today getting the Citabria and the hangar ready for the spring flying season ! Now we just need the spring weather to arrive…
On Thursday March 17th, Chris Glos and David LeFrancois participated in a University of Texas Medical Branch led Commercial Spaceflight Passenger Training Study at The NASTAR Center. They experienced simulated suborbital spaceflights using NASTAR’s high-performance centrifuge-based simulator. This simulator generated high onset-offset, sustained acceleration (“G”) forces similar to those experienced in commercial spacecraft. Chris and David were trained on …
Thursday March 17th, two of our pilots will be participating in a University of Texas Medical Branch led Commercial Spaceflight Passenger Training Study at The NASTAR Center. Our pilots will experience a simulated suborbital spaceflight at The NASTAR Center using its high-performance centrifuge-based simulator. This simulator is capable of generating high onset-offset, sustained acceleration (“G”) forces similar …

A great afternoon to spend at the airport ! We had a good view during lunch … then a preflight check of the Citabria … and out for a run over Lakefield and back to CYPQ … for a low and over to check out the crosswind … then around the field for a landing and …
