BEAUTIFUL, GOOD, FREE, SAIB 2019!

Oh it was nice at the Bagotville International Air Show (SAIB)!

Three days of su-per-be time for Friday practice and the show on Saturday and Sunday, just a little too windy, however, which deprived us of the Skyhawks' performance. And for the 'guy of Montreal', Bagotville is a little 'eccentric' as a destination but there are people in the Lake and Saguenay, not to mention that it is not so far from Quebec. Coming from just about anywhere in Ontario and the Maritimes, the crowd filled hotels, motels, B & Bs and other places to stay. Some have even been pushed back to Tadoussac to be hosted!

Free and good weather plus a very respectable reputation, the SAIB welcomed more than 93,000 people last Saturday. The doors were open at 7:30 am and around noon it was full and the shuttle service was interrupted to the SAIB. And 93,000, it seems! But this dense crowd remained cheerful and respectful and I only saw smiles! In total, the commander of the base announced in the late afternoon Sunday that they had counted 143 408 entries, about 50 000 for Sunday!

A more complete report will appear in the magazine L'Aviateur and until then, it remains to me and Hélène, hours and hours of pleasure in photo processing.

I leave you the addresses to see the photos of your "special envoys" but you will have to return periodically because others will be added.

YOUNG PEOPLE TAKE OFF IN AMOS

On June 1, 2018 took place the last edition of Jeunes en vol at Magny d'Amos Airport. 280 young people were able to benefit from free aircraft tours.

Although the Amos Aerospace Club was far from its first edition, several changes were made to the event to improve the fluidity of visitors on the ground while increasing the entertainment offer.

Like most events in the regions, success is largely dependent on community support. Many sponsors have been able to offer young people t-shirts in the colors of the baptism of the air.

For those whose aircraft were less attractive, a kiosk had insects whose presence in Abitibi was of course impossible to see. A few steps away, there were fire trucks from the City of Amos. The young people could put themselves in the shoes of a fireman, putting on a combat suit while exploring the ladder truck.

Want to discover a gold deposit hidden in a lake Jamésien? The company Trionex was present with its Beaver thundering yellow. The young people could experience the job of prospector, the search for a gold nugget, sleep in the prospector's tent.

A small train, courtesy of the Amos Optimist Club, allowed families to travel on the site. The train left the terminal, heading for Avionnerie Amos to take a break near the windsock of runway 32. The visitors could be in the front row to hear the soft sound of aircraft rubber touching the runway.

Several cadets were present to support the organizers. Some provided security in the boarding areas while others worked to appease the hunger of visitors by preparing hot dogs sold at low cost under the Desjardins tent.

Everything was also active on the air side of the event. After registering and handing over their boarding pass, the youth could head into the queue to take a seat in one of the six allowed aircraft in the circuit. A few days before the event, only four aircraft were available. Fortunately, it was only a call to see the help of our neighboring clubs, the Aeronautical Club of Abitibi-Ouest and the COPA 192 Squadron of Val-d'Or.

The Astar 350 helicopter from Legault Metal definitely stole the show. Although the choice between the plane or helicopter for the towers was left to chance, no need to say that huge smiles were visible for those coming out of the helicopter.

A fantastic day, blessed by Mother Nature, which would have been impossible to achieve without the extraordinary team of volunteers present during this day.
