This year one of our partners, the Rockcliffe Flying Club, is celebrating 50 years as the place "where friends come to fly." Ever been a member? They're planning a reunion for May 13-15 in Ottawa, ON and would love to hear from you.

Our featured partner this month is the Bomber Command Museum located in Nanton, AB. This year the group that started it all - the Nanton Lancaster Society - is celebrating its 25th Anniversary. Congratulations!
