THE PLOWING MATCH SUPPLEMENT 19
avoiding the traffic
Farmers ,,arrive by 'air.
By Debbie Ranney
Flying farmers could be a
step ahead of harried
motorists when they come to
the International Plowing
Match in Wingham in
September, They won't have
to park at the site.
The Wingharm airport will
be providing parking space
for planes 'and will be
offering free transportation
for the flying farmers out to
the plowing match site as
well.
'Bill Cruikshank, owner of
the airport said the farmers
will 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
is the parking space. He said
at the Walkerton airport
during the Bruce match they
had 75 planes on a good.day.
"I don't , think we could
predict how many we're
expecting. We could park
100 planes if we needed to,"
he said.,
As well as farmers, Mr.
Cruikshank thinks that some
of the farm machinery corn-
,
panics probably will be flying
in as well.
The Wingham airport is
licences, free for everybody
to use, and Mr. Cruikshank
really can't see any problems
‘Nith landing or room for the
planes.
"We have two runways.
We're going to park them on
one and 'land them on the
other.I'm sure there's no
danger of running out of
space," ho said.
No special preparations
have had to be made for
plowing match crowds
alter, eNcept 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 heat
the traffic lineups. For the
planes that do fly in, he has
gasoline available • if they
need it and will have a radio
to talk to them coming in. A
little trailer will be parked
down by the runway and
radio contact will be made
from there.
"We'll have to have some-
body there to park airplanes
and somebody to give
gasoline. and four vehicles
Neill be standing by all day
long to transport people
coming and going from the
plowing match," Mr. Cruik-
shank said.
Posters have also been put
in most of the airports .in
Ontatgo indicating where the
airport is, and in most of the
aviation trade magazineS.
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 period.
