AFC will be adding a few precautions to our day to day activities going forward to protect ourselves and our customers from Covid 19. - the door will be locked at all times. Please call 506-634-5565 to be admitted into the building. The reasoning for this is to disinfect all areas as people come through. We also ask that you use the hand sanitizer at the front door before entering the offices or the hangar floor. - customers who have access to the building. Please use the gla...ss doors only. The hand sanitizer is there. Please use this. - as much as we love having you come over and have a coffee with us. At this time we suggest that we keep our distance and save our coffee time for when this blows over. - please only come to AFC if you are coming over in an official capacity. We know that some people will view this as extreme and be unhappy with these choices. It's our chance to slow the spread and protect the vulnerable in our community. If you have any questions please contact Shawn or Amanda in regards to the new protocols.

In an effort to help reduce the risk of exposure to, and continued spread of COVID-19, the Saint John Airport is encouraging people who are either dropping off ...passengers or picking up passengers to remain in their cars while waiting for travellers The airport will waive short -term parking fees until March 31st. Please use the designated short-term parking areas for this purpose and keep fire and emergency lanes clear

If you're going to drink coffee while flying, put it in a spill proof cup! https://www.flightglobal.com//a350-engine-s/136434.article

Congratulations Shawn on passing your PPL Exam today and fulfilling a lifelong dream of becoming a pilot!

It's exciting to me when pictures of AFC from days gone by are sent to us! If you or someone you know has old pictures we would love to see them.

Come try out the new runway! If you're coming in after dark to see the new lights, help yourself with our 24/7 self-serve Avgas pump. ;-)

A stressful day was had by all in the local General Aviation community. One of our own had an incident today. Thankfully he is in stable condition and will live to tell another flying tale. Thanks to everyone who checked in, came out to lend a hand or give a much needed hug.

Good article from the local engine experts.

This is about the most wacky flying story we've ever read! https://jalopnik.com/how-a-slot-machine-mechanic-flew-150-0

Don't underestimate the speed and destructive power of an inflatable life raft!

All of us at AFC would like to wish Paul Jacques a very Happy 80th Birthday! If you'd like to join us tomorrow for cake and coffee at AFC from 2-4 to wish Paul a Happy Birthday and talk airplanes the doors are open.
