Hello all.

We discovered that Monday, May 16th 2011 will mark the exact 45th Anniversary of Time Air. That was the date of Lethbridge Air Service's inaugural flight from Lethbridge to Calgary and back. Roundtrip airfare on that flight was $23.20!!! No additional fees, charges or even taxes!!

Here is a 1968 magazine article about Lethbridge Airservices that was published in 1968.

For all you Lethbridge folks, be sure to check out the special "Bridges" section in today's Lethbridge Herald as it contains a cover feature about the 45th Anniversary of Time Air Reunion BBQ which is only weeks away!

We have more than 150 former Time Air folks signed up for the gathering so far. Tickets are still available on a first-come first served basis by e-mailing Gayle at gayle@pixelworks.ca . She will walk you through the process of purchasing your BBQ ducats.

We will be having all former Time Air folks in attendance sign a special banner which will be prominently displayed in our planned permanent tribute to Time Air in our new head office building in Lethbridge. The BBQ will be held in the former Time Air hangar where I am sure the great tales of old will be flying about through the night.

Cheers!

Just over a week to go until the Time Air Reunion BBQ. The e-mails and phone calls are coming in fast and furiously as we near the big day. Tickets to the event are getting very limited so if you have plans to attend, you will want to secure your tickets today. I am looking forward to seeing everyone in Lethbridge for the gathering of a lifetime!

Just confirmed that we have sold more than 180 tickets to Time Air folks for this weekend's big reunion. We have folks attending from as far away as Dubai!

North Caribou's F-18 BBQ which was used for their outstanding Stampede BBQ will be put to good use cooking up steaks.
