Default RVs taking over Canada!

Windsor Ontario Canada "Bad Attitude Squadron" of Vans Airforce is growing.
I believe we are now one of the larger wings of Rvs in the great white north. We have an rv6, rv6a, two rv7s, 3 rv9as presently based on the field. Sweet.

Great photo Rick. We have something like 20 RVs/ Rockets at CYBW/ Springbank and I believe over 100 in the province now.

Which airport is the Canadian RV capital? Would be interesting to know.

We are always happy to visit or do trips. If you firm up a date, clarify and lets get a bunch of rvs in! 3 of us are off to the bahamas in a couple weeks. Brats always attract! Let us know thanks!

Great picture. Looks like you could use an RV8. Nearing completion on mine in Kingsville. Love to get together with you guys some time & pick your brains on a few finishing up details, first flights etc. I know Peter & have met Perry.

Don't forget about Langley BC. It is the only Canadian location attended by Van's every year for the annual fly-in. We have the Snow*Flakes(TM) formation team that has six active pilots and we routinely have up to 10 for Remembrance Day fly-pasts when combined with several Swifts. We are all FAST certified through SFC.

I no longer am based there but I still fly with gang. Langley is also the home of a ten-time offender who has even built two retractable gear RVs. One of the pilots runs 100ll.ca. A mix of ex-military, airline and private pilots.

June 20, 2015 is the date for the annual fly-in. All aircraft are welcome, bring an appetite.... The best pie west of the Ontario border.
