Wednesday June 23/2010 - FS Program at the Stan Cassidy Centre Still a success! -Rolf Spangenberg-
In February 2010 two Gentlemen from the Fredericton Hangar introduced our hobby to patients and friends/relatives of the Stan Cassidy rehabilitation Centre. Burt Dykeman and Gus Marche made the presentation and were good enough to get the project going by donating equipment. Burt provided a computer/software and Gus a Joystick.
I am very pleased to report that this project is ongoing and that Burt is continuing to provide support and the Tools to keep up the interest among all those that touch the facility. Burt a great Thank you and also to Gus who has helped so diligently when he could.

New scenery is now available which will replace the default scenery at the Summerside (CYSU) airport.

Thursday, Feb 11 2010 1800hrs - 2045hrs Flight Simulation Demonstration - Stan Casidy Centre, Fredericton NB.
by Gus Marche-C-FCGM FSNB - Chief Pilot CYFC Hanger
SUMMARY:
On the above date/time following a meeting between members of FSNB and management of the centre, a demonstration of our hobby was conducted by CYFC hanger members Gus Marche(Chief Pilot) and Burt Dykeman. Two stations were set up. There were approximately 15 residents who attended the demo and several of them took the controls and flew aircraft from and to various airports. They all displayed a keen interest in the hobby and showed their appreciation for our presence.
Following the demo which lasted about two hours and forty-five minutes, the residents in attendance were assured that should they want further assistance with the programs that they can have management of the centre make contact with us through Burt who works at the Chalmers Hosp as a volunteer.
CONCLUSION:
Burt and I felt that it would be a nice jesture to leave equipment at the centre for the residents to use, so Burt donated a complete computer system with all the necessary programs on it including keyboard and speakers and I donated a joystick. We hope that they will have lots of fun with it.
Thursday, February 4th 2010 - The first meeting of the YFC Fredericton Hangar was held at the Lincoln Big Stop. Two members from the Fredericton area ( Gus Marche, Chief pilot and Burt Dykeman) and two guests from the YSJ Hangar ( John Taylor & Clay Johnson) attended. A lively discussion was held on various topics such as departure and arrival charts (SIDS & STARS), various software such as FS Commander, favorite planes, etc. A good exchange of ideas and information resulted. It is hoped more of the local Fredericton enthusiasts are able to attend next meeting. Pictured from left to right are: Clay Johnson, John Taylor, Gus Marche and Burt Dykeman

Friday December 18/2009 - Christmas Get-together
A Christmas get-together was held at Rolf's home on Iona Ave on Friday evening, December 18th. Only six FSNB members not including the host were able to attend. Rolf's better half (Donna) provided lots of great things to eat - Smoked Salmon Hors d'œuvres, BBQ chicken wings and drumsticks, meatballs, crackers and cheese, Grapes and other tid bits that were nothing short of delicious. Rolf announced that dessert was ready and waiting upstairs. This included lots of sweets - squares, cookies and not to mention hot apple pie. Thanks to Rolf and his wife Donna for their hospitality from all of those in attendance and those that could not attend for whatever the reason.
Sunday December 13/2009 - More FSNB Site Changes
As an on-going attempt to make fsnb.ca a better website, more changes are taking place. Namely, the original Navigation Bar is being replaced with simple text links. Text links decrease page load times simply because of their nature - they are non-graphic content items.....added to that they free up valuable realestate on each page which can be used for more important items.
