I Took My Instrument Checkride With Jean
I just stumbled on this string researching Rose Aviation, looking for old pics. I learned to fly at Rose in 1970, 48 years ago. I am still flying professionally today which is a true miracle...
I've wondered what happened to Jean, Rex, Art Olsen, Linda, Don Petersen, Claude Bennet (what a great guy!!). Hopefully someone will have some answers.
Thx

ROSE AVIATION
I worked for Rose Aviation in 1960 to 1962 as a flight instructor. I attained all of my ratings from Jean and Rex and they were kind enough to give me a job. I went to work for Zantop in 1962 and was hired by Delta Airlines in 1963. I lost track of Jean and Rex but have been able to access Jeans past as a WASP during WWII. She was injured in a Piper Apache accident in about 1984 and later died of a blood clot as a result of her injuries. I can't find any reference of Rex. Ken Chirhart, kchirhart@ma.rr.com
Baron
I just purchased an old baron 55 that was owned by them. Anyone have info on this bird?
re: re: Why no Uber or Lyft?
Your points are correct only to a degree - you exaggerate on every item presented. As one who uses taxis at YVR regularly, I have only once had a delay in the past year. I do agree that the airport could do with more taxis available especially with late evening arrivals.
Why no Uber or Lyft?
Lineups for taxis- but no taxis.....
Lots full of taxis- but none for patrons......
If you can get a cab, you are often refused a ride because “I don’t go there”.....
Why no Uber or Lyft? It might smarten up the rip off taxi companies.
Can’t you clean?
I’ve been through at least 40 airports, all over the world.
YVR has some of the nicest washrooms, but with the poorest cleaning. I’ve been through here multiple times, and rarely seen anything different. Urinals that haven’t been cleaned under since.... well... who knows when. Paper dispensers empty. Usually more than half. Garbage chutes overflowing. No soap in the fancy automatic dispensers. Unwashed floors.
I just used one that had been cleaned in the last half hour( so the paper says), and EVERY urinal had a dirty floor under it.
Where’s the quality control? Is there a manager actually checking?
Sheesh- can’t this beautiful airport do better?

Frenchy's Cassette Tape - The Art of Flying
Frenchy taught my father to fly and my mom and I were taking lessons when Frenchy passed away. I only had about 8 hours in my log and was 16 or 18 years old. (1976 or 1978 I think). I never took another lesson because I couldn't imagine someone telling me to fly over a VOR to watch the From/To flag switch. But, I still have the cassette tape Frenchy gave me to learn his Art of Flying. Does anyone remember this? Contact me if you would like to listen to it. niahartman@icloud.com

This air strip still exists and is used by private planes, even though it's not official maintained.

I have not found much information on this airport other than it seems to be an abandoned location sometime in the 1960s. The Smith River airport holds the record for the coldest temperature ever recorded in British Columbia (recorded in 1947).
It's winter, you need to de-ice aircraft!
Man you kids are dropping the ball!
Who is incharge of this debacle called YVR?
3 hours into a 5 hour flight cause you clowns can't have enough de-icing equipment to service your airport!
My 5 hour flight is now going to be at least a 9 if not a 10 hour flight.
Get your act together and stop this amature hour.
Well-maintained but not a great experience
I connected in PTY twice in the last week and both times I found the satellite with gates around #30 full of people and very hot as though the A/C wasn’t working, while the other areas of the terminal were at a good temperature. Both gifts and food are significantly overpriced, which came as a surprise. $4 - $6 for a bottle of water, nearly $30 for a soft toy. The first time, my connecting flight changed gates and I couldn’t find it on the screens, nor was it announced. I couldn’t reach airline staff at a nearby gate because of a security blockade and security staff told me to speak to airline staff at another gate because they simply didn’t know anything. At another gate, airline staff did help, but blamed the airport, and told us the new gate, though incremented by one, was at the other side of the terminal and I should hurry because the flight is already boarding. Certainly not the best airport experience I’ve had in 20 years of travelling by air.

Restaurant and grocery store within a very short walk from the airport. Paved apron with tie downs. Nice place to stop over.

Very nice pilot lounge. Best fuel prices in the area. Lighted runway with AWOS. Home of the restored Canso. Nice airport to visit but a little too far to walk to town. About 4km.
Beautiful Airport
I rent the corner hanger space right on the lake. I can watch people fish and they can watch me fly.
Closed
I drove past there and it looks completely closed, the hangars are still there but the airstrip is fully covered in snow.
Miss this airport
Was nice airport, could park and walk to my father in laws cabin
First Grass landing
Instructor took me here during training for soft field landings
Watch out for the Ships!
Great airport to visit! You can watch giant lake freighters said across the grass (at least that's how it looks from the ramp). Ask for a ride into the fish place. Great food!
Flight Test
Took my flight test here with Dottie on President's Day, 2000.
Truck Stop!
Great little grass runway airport. Park next to the semi's at the north end of the runway and walkin to the country diner truck stop. Great food!
Tractor Show
Love to fly into here in August for the antique tractor show. They will give you a ride over and come get you to go home. Nice airport.
Slippery Rock Airport... ;-)
Great airport for flying into SRU. My son went there, Airport staff always great. Parachuting at the west end though
Farthest West... So Far
Landed here while doing my training hours when I had a Cardinal RG. Nice St. Louis area airport
Great Airport Destination!
Love the diner, and the museum, and my wife's air medical "CareFlight" base. the place I fly to the most. Love Urbana Grimes!
Night Flights
Landed here in a 1964 172 during my night cross country in the fall of 1999
Great little airport,
Towered, breakfast and lunch restaurant on the ramp, and a great little WW2 museum. Used to be a glider training base.
Almost gone...
Nothing left but the runway. Pretty sad, grew up about a mile off the end of the runway, used to be very busy with well over a hundred based planes... sigh
First Time visit
Landed here for first time yesterday. Beautiful little airport, picnic area, I'll be back.

Where I learned to fly and Jane and Jean Miller owned it. Great little airport!
Nice country airport!

Great Little Airstrip!
My Home Airport! Love flying here.

Hard to find
I don't know why. Maybe because everything on the ground in that area looks like a stripe of some sort, it was a hard to find airport.
Great Airport and Incredible Maintenance Facity

re: History Of Rose Aviation on Hawthorne Airport from 1963
They are in Salem Oregon
Building of the runway.
I dont have a lot of information however just found out my grandfather ran the heavy duty cat to build the strip at war time. Is there any signs of the airstrip left. I would like to bring my teen to it for family history maybe in 2018.
First cross country flight
Landed on it on my first leg of solo cross country. Quite an experience.
A very nice terminal with a museum.
Friendly flying school
Where i had my first solo.
The home for Canadian Flyers School where I recieved my training. People are amazing. Very knowledgeable, friendly and supportive.
