THE WARIVITH
• By Debbie Ranney
Flying farmers could be a
step ahead of harried
motorists when they come to
the International Plowing
Match in Wingham
September. They'.won't' haVe
to park at the site.
The Wingham airport will
be providing parking space
for - planes and- will be
offering free traniportation*
for the flying farmers out to
the plowing—match--site
well.
Bill Cruikshank, owner -of
the airport said the farmers
be landing at the airport
and from there fOur vehicles
are to provide continuous
free transportation to the
`plowing match site. These-
vehicles will be transporting
people as the need. arises.
Mr: Cruikshank.'said the
• only limitation at' his 'airport
isthe parking space. He said
at. the Walkerton airport
during the Bruce match ,they
had 75 planes on a. good clav: .
panics probably will be flying
lb as well, .
The Wingliam airport is
licences. free for everybody
tO use, 'and Mr. Cruikshank
really can't see any problems
Stith landing or room for the,'
planes.
"We have two ritnways,...
-We're.going to park, them on .
one and land them on the
other.lint sure there's-, no
danger of ratting out of
space." -he said.
No special preparations
have had to be made for
plowing match ' crowds
either, except for keeping the
grass cut, as the runways are
used all the time.
Mr. Cruikshank thinks that
a lot of farmers would fly in
from short. distances to the
plowing match just to beat
the traffic lineups. For the
.planes that do fly in, he has
gasoline available if they
iteettit'and'will' have a 'radio
to talk to. them coming in: A
little trailer will be parreacT
down by the runway and
radio contact made'
from there.
"We'll have to have sortie-
body there to park airplanes
and' somebody to give
gasoline. and four vehicles
will be standing by all day
long to transport people
coiling and going from the
plowing match.": Mr. Cruik- -
shank said.
____Tostek have also.been put-
in most of the airports in
Ontario indicating where .the
airport is, and in most of the
aviation trade rnagaiines.
there is a little blurb 'that
indicates that landing space
is available at •the Wingham
airport for people planning to
fly to the match.
Mr. Cruikshank said that
over 250 people flew into.
Walkerton last year over a
-five-day-perioch--- "1 don't-think we. could
• predict --how;_.i._many .._ we're--
expecting: We.. could park
100 planes ifwe' needed-to," .
he said,
As- well. as farmers. Mr.
Cruikshank thinks that some
of the farm machinery corn-
