Milestone passed on April 1st.

Post by Driving Rain »

I'm sorry I missed posting this on April 1st but I was caught in a snow storm and forgot about it until now.
On April 1st 1924 the O.P.A.S was formed. The Ontario Provincial Air Service has morphed into the OMNR Air Service. Us old timers still call it the OPAS much to our overlords dismay.
It is the grand daddy of all the resource protection based air operations world wide and have contributed a number of first to that form of aviation.
Congradulations and I hope they have another 85 years.
