RE: Timmins Flying Club

April 7-2025

To reach out to the flying community, The Timmins Flying Club email adress has been added to the Flight 23 email list.

Thus, I've added a note received from them.

Some of you probably subscribe to Avweb.  The following article is in today’s edition.  What you may not be aware of is- when they mention Jamail soloed in canada - it was Lloyd Richard’s who “took Jamail under his wing” & arranged (& paid) for him to come to canada to solo & do some training here.  We aren’t sure how Lloyd met Jamail,  but he was his mentor for many years.
Very interesting how he is succeeding.  Lloyd would be pleased!!!
