Despite a postponed flight the day prior due to the weather, CEO Randy Hanna said that the inaugural flight in was a good one.
"It was really smooth right up until right up by Cameron Lake so I flew past that and came around the other way," he said.

Richmond News
From wheels to floats and skis to skids, Kirsten Brazier is a rare breed in Richmond and British Columbia who's criss-crossed Canada more times than she cares to remember during her 20 years in the cockpit of all manner of flying machines.
Rare — because she's a woman; a female pilot no less.
Brazier is frequently on the receiving end of double-takes when she tells people what she does for a living, despite being in possession of airline transport ratings for both aeroplanes and helicopters — in other words, just about the only contraption she’s not qualified to take to the skies in is the space shuttle.

That naturally led to considering how old is too old to take up flying airplanes or jumping out of them. Should people of a certain age not even consider these activities? He was thinking no to the riding question.
My answer is kneejerk: Hell yes you should consider it.

Popular Mechanics
A huge influx of general aviation air traffic is expected to hit the San Francisco Bay Area during the first week of February in anticipation of Super Bowl 50. While you're watching football, the Air Force will be watching the skies in case an errant pilot wanders into the protected airspace surrounding the big game.
But it takes practice to intercept a slow moving Cessna with a big twin-engine supersonic fighter jet. The California Air National Guard and the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) have been busy preparing should such an encounter be required.
