1. Please observe social distancing. Driving up to launch in large groups and in an enclosed space is not recommended for now. One option is to have a driver take gear up to launch then hike up, or ride up in a pick up box seperate from the driver and...wear masks.

2. Please do not visit any flying sites or flight park areas if you are sick or health compromised in any way.

3. Please bring your own hand sanitizer and use it. Do not touch other peoples gear.
 
4. Please bring your own drinking water and don't share it.

5. Please fly with extra care and caution ...our first responders may be busy.

OSA GENERAL MEETING CANCELLED

4/20/2020

Amidst the COVID-19 outbreak our OSA general meeting will be cancelled in May. The next set meeting date will be in August. Hopefully by then everything will have settled down. Also Norm and Trevor are hoping to set up the weather station at Coopers within the next few weeks. I will post a link for the weather station once it's live. Freedom Flight Park will be open for flying this year however if you are not on Randy's email list then please contact him in regard to what is expected in relation to COVID-19. We have all been flying at King Eddy now and the road up is pretty good and the trail hike-able. A lot of the flyers have been using the logging road up the front face of Eddy to hike up. I was flying yesterday and thermals were lovely. Just remember that our flight path is in airport air traffic airspace flight path. Here is a link to site info https://www.flyok.ca/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=139. Happy flying everyone. WE HAVE NEW HELMET STICKERS. They can be mailed if necessary. Just contact me through messenger or flyoksafety@gmail.com.
