"Are you going to buy a plane of your own?" That is the first question a friend asks when he is told you are taking flying lessons, according to student pilots at the Oshawa Flying Club. Many of the club's 260 mem- bers rent the club's seven air- craft, but more than 20 have their own planes. This must make Oshawa one of the most air-minded cities in Canada. Clyde Lewis of Thornhill is a member who bought a plane, after years of renting aircraft. On many week-ends, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis can be seen about the club, planning a flight to some interesting or distant On- tario centre. In private life, Mr. Lewis manages a metal- lurgical research laboratory. CRUISES AT 115 MPH His four-seat Piper Tri-Pacer cruises at 115 mph and consumes about five gallons of gas an hour. Anywhere in Ontario is within easy reach. In_ two hours' flying time he can be in Sudbury, Ottawa or Windsor. A light plane thus enables you to do things impossible by the town of Goderich, Mr. Lewis decided to fly there for the ceremony. Aided by favorable winds, he took only an hour to make the trip, which was a pleasant Saturday afternoon's outing. Like many of ine wives of Oshawa Flying Club members, Mrs. Lewis is not a_ passive passenger. She regularly navi- gates the plane while her hus- band flies. Ontario is well marked with radio beacons, and her husband makes full use of these. However, Mrs. Lewis' navigation serves as a check on his flying, and is a safety pre- caution in case of radio failure. "I find it gives me something useful to' do, and makes the trips more enjoyable," she says. |LAKES ARE LANDMARKS * Lakes and rivers are the best May Not Compete In Elimination Bob Branch may not be able All Ontario Within Reach of Plane Owner SECOND SECTION pete a She is WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1964 awn Times -- PAGE ELEVEN landmarks, she has found, but railroads, race tracks, canals and roads are useful.

Some towns have their names painted in huge letters on the tops of buildings as an aid to passing airmen. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis recently flew to Cleveland, Ohio, to visit their son. They have also flown to Sault Ste. Marie, Wiar- ton, Ottawa and elsewhere. "'It's wonderful how people at air- ports will loan you their cars so you can get into town", says Mr. Lewis.
