AVIATOR EXPRESS # 791 - FEBRUARY 20, 2019

THE LOBSTER DINNER IS MAY 25,  2019

Winter will eventually end and soon we will end up in the lobster season. True to its tradition, Aviateurs.Québec invites you to its annual lobster dinner. This year, we are moving to the south shore in Sainte-Madeleine at La Madeleine Golf Club .

The dinner will be an opportunity for everyone to celebrate 40 years of APBQ and those who have helped to make an association that has become Aviateurs.Québec, the largest francophone grouping of pilots in the Americas .

For the third year we will have our auction on the  internet as well as a live auctionn that will be animated by  aston Lepage.

We take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to these auctions in providing  a good or service . The offer does not necessarily need to be related to aviation and anyone in the province can  contribute. One of the auctions being on the internet, you do not have to be present at the dinner to bet or even recover the fruit of the bet.  Anyone, no matter where you are,  can participate in the auction on the internet.  This means that for you who are in the region, you can offer this good or service of your own and make you known throughout the province. If you are interested, please contact us at secretariat@aviateurs.quebec

Dinner tickets will go on sale on our website on Monday, February 25th at 12:00 for $ 85 / person. You can also book a table for $ 800.

Hurry , tickets will go fast and these introductory prices will not last.

THE RVA OF SAINTE-ANNE-DU-LAC, A GREAT SUCCESS!

No less than 35 planes on skis and a day without wind under the sun, that's something to cheer the organizers when they had to give up to clear a track for the planes on wheels because of the too strong accumulations of snow. Moreover, they had the good idea to mark a track on snow and do the same for the parking area. Going off the beaten path involved a risk of slushering. At the peak, the parking area seemed busy ... Still beautiful moments with very nice people!

We invite you to see pictures of this RVA:
