Dan Charrois, a businessman, engineer, licensed pilot—and now, aircraft builder—has put together his own four-seater airplane (a Van’s Aircraft RV10), a feat that took him 11-years to complete. On Jan. 15, Charrois' project came to fruition when he finally flew his airplane for the very first time. The build took him about 2,300 hours, numerous references to a 400-page instruction manual, assistance from his family, and, of course, commitment. Charrois, who is near-sighted, said when he was a kid people would insist he could never become a pilot because of his vision. From that early age, however, he remembers being fascinated with the idea of flying, an interest in which he never gave up. It wasn’t until years later he finally looked into actually getting his pilot license, and he realized nothing was standing in his way. “It still amazes me something heavier than air can take off and fly, even though I understand why [it does]. I think I love flying so much because it’s the wonder of being able to do it,” he said. In 2002, Charrois earned his pilot license, and it quickly became a family affair. With two kids in tow, Charrois and his wife, Jeannie, rented a plane and adventured all over North America, visiting near (Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver) and of paperwork and several inspections from a far (Las Vegas, San Fransisco, New Orleans).

All proceeds go to the Friends of the Morinville Public Library. by Stephen Dafoe [email protected] The Sampson family will be packing up this week for a one-week trip to Mexico, but unlike many Albertans heading for a winter’s trip to warmer climes, the Sampsons are joining the Morinville Rotary Interact group, a separate youth-wing of the Morinville Rotary Club, on a humanitarian missions trip. Korien Sampson and her children Kenneth (22), Stacey (20), Victoria (17), and Kimberly (16) leave for Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Feb. 7 to assist local organizations working with low-income families. Sampson said the Celebrate the Winter! volunteers will spend two days at La Fuente Church helping with painting and other activities, and will also work with Familias de la Esperanza (Families of Hope), an organization working for families that are currently living in shacks within and around a closed garbage dump. “We’re going to be working with them in various capacities, helping Do you have the sub-zero blues?
