My house was 1 block down the hill from that school. Small world indeed! By the way, there are 55,000 peeps living here now. Yes 55K. Airdrie airport is still much the same as it was in 1945: a Commonwealth Airforce Training base, like a hundred more scattered across the West. It’s in decay, but still supports a pretty active flying club.
And now you live in paradise, lacking only a Bearhawk to reach Nirvanana! Good luck in your endeavours!
