| Guest
Program |
| ....We
have a guest program in place that allows non-member flyers to bring
a plane to fly; however, you will have to be hosted by one of the
9 members of the VRCMS safety committee. All aircraft flying at Michell
field will be subjected to a brief inspection and sound test before
they can fly. We do our best to be respectful neighbours and safe,
quiet planes are an intregral part of that! |
