The first Cornell run-up of 2021 went brilliantly this past week! A job well done by our small and socially-distanced Aircraft Maintenance Group; they worked hard to get the Cornell to this point!

Today we remember the bold and brave men who orchestrated the Great Escape from Stalag Luft III.

A fitting way to honour 97 years of the RCAF!

Our pilots aren’t afraid of early mornings! Great to see Bill exercising the Canuck on what was a brilliant weekend

Now that spring is officially here, a tidy grass runway and good flying days are just around the corner! Who’s excited to see the Moth fly again in 2021? #spring2021 #grassrunway #classicaircraft #vintageaircraft #tigermoth #dehavilland #rcaf #avgeek #edenvaleclassicaircraftfoundation #cnv8 Bill/Gail Bunting

76 years ago today!

A huge thank you to everyone who donated so generously to our calendar initiative over the past few months! Your support raised just over $340 for ECAF. These funds will help immensely to get our 2021 season started once restrictions allow... and trust us, we’re counting down the days! #thankyou #fundraiser #volunteering #edenvaleclassicaircraftfoundation #cnv8

The ECAF Board of Directors has recently voted to delay our reopening (formerly planned for April 1st) due to Simcoe County being in the red control zone. This classification only allows indoor groups of up to 5 persons and still recommends refraining from non-essential travel. While we were hopeful to be open again next week, we’ll still be around when restrictions change- and at that point, we’ll be even more ready & excited to welcome visitors and resume our work again ... Thanks and best wishes from Mike and the rest of the Board. #announcement #postponed #simcoecounty #edenvale #edenvaleclassicaircraftfoundation #cnv8

It’s a beautiful morning... the Canuck thinks so too! #morningflight #goodweather #letsgoflying #tailwheel #classicaircraft #fleetcanuck #avgeek #edenvaleclassicaircraftfoundation #cnv8

Great to see the Canuck soaking up so much winter airtime!!

The poppy. So simple, yet it says so much. Let us all pause today at 11 am to remember the sacrifices made for peace and for freedom. Lest we forget. ... #lestweforget #wewillrememberthem #canadaremembers #remembranceday #armistice

The ECAF hangar is home to more than just airplanes! Walking in the door, visitors are greeted by this rack of vintage propellers from various eras and aircraft. Whether you appreciate the history or the aesthetic appeal of these pieces, it’s got to be said that they make a striking impression! #propellers #museum #aviationhistory #classicaircraft #vintageaircraft #edenvaleclassicaircraftfoundation #edenvale #cnv8 #avgeek

On this Remembrance Sunday and always, we will remember them.
