The purpose and intended use of this rent study is to estimate the annual fair market rent for improved air side properties located at the Redmond Municipal Airport. The effective date of value is May 7, 2019. This rent study has been written to conform with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) set forth by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation and adopted by the State of Oregon Appraiser Certification and Licensure Board. In the course of research, I have completed a physical inspection of the subject property, as well as a study of comparable rentals. Note that comparable ground leases located at airports outside of the Central Oregon region have not all been physically inspected by the appraiser; however, I have viewed Google maps of the individual airports.

  • Number 5 Bombing and Gunnery School Dafoe, Saskatchewan
    Number 5 Bombing and Gunnery School Dafoe, Saskatchewan By Stephen Carthy Introduction and Acknowledgements Born as children of the Roaring Twenties and growing up as adolescents of the Dirty Thirties, they were men mostly in their late teens or early twenties when World War II broke out. They enlisted in the air forces of the British Commonwealth. Their reasons were as individual as they were, for some it was a way to escape the joblessness of the Thirties, for others it was patriotism and a chance for adventure, for some it was peer pressure, or it may have been a combination of any of those. After completing their basic training in their homeland they were sent to Canada to train in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Of course, the vast majority of these young men went on to serve in various theatres of war after completing their training in Canada. Sadly, too many of them never returned to their homes. The British Commonwealth Air Training Program had an extremely good safety record and 131,553 aircrew were trained. Most of the accidents that occurred were minor, but some were serious, and some fatal. 856 trainee airmen were either seriously injured or killed. At #5 Bombing and Gunnery School near Dafoe, Saskatchewan one hundred and twenty-three accidents were recorded, most were minor. Because those who were killed were not casualties of theatres of war their sacrifice is sometimes forgotten. Nevertheless, they gave their lives in the service of their countries. Like those who gave their lives overseas, those who died in training accidents in Canada left their families and homes voluntarily to serve their countries.

(Leonardo Correa Luna) Happy Times in The Air We noticed as we read these wonderful stories, sent to us by the readers of Air & Space, that they are filled with longing. As you read them, you’ll notice these common themes: “All too soon, the flight was over” and “All good things must end, and so did our flight” and “I’ll always remember…” and “I’ll never forget.” There are certainly a few experi- ences included that the writers wish had not happened, but the majority of these stories recount happy times in the air. Reading them made us happy, and we hope you enjoy them as much as we did. Happy reading.
