Past BBQ: 7 August 2021 – Greenwood Airpark – 11am-1pm
This was very successful, with about 50 attendees, 7 planes and 1 helicopter flew in. Everyone enjoyed the new taste of South African Sausage.
On 8 August and 12 September, we had the third and fourth barbecue-gathering at CFB Greenwood in the airpark. General, we have 20-40 visitors who mingle, converse and eat from 10 am to 2 pm on Saturday. The other two gatherings were on July 11 and 25th. After the creation of the Atlantic Canada bubble on the July 12th we had fly-in’s from New Brunswick and PEI. The weather has been cooperating and all activities are outside.
The Fly-in to celebrate the opening of the new hangers at the Greenwood Air-park was enjoyed by an estimated 50 persons. It was great to meet and talk to friends, some of whom we had not seen for awhile. The barbecue was interrupted briefly by a downpour that cause everyone to take cover in the hangers.

Sunday , May 12 at 2 pm, members of AVFA had a brief meeting and toured the new hanger.
