Love Is in the Air

HappyValentine's Day! Many a friendship or a long lasting love interest had its beginnings at the Victoria Flying Club or through a shared interest in aviation. We are proud to have had a role in creating many beautiful friendships!

Above: Emma and Casey: From Emma: "Casey and I met in April of 2016 at UVic, just before the end of the semester. We instantly hit it off and decided to attempt a summer of long distance after just a couple weeks of dating as Casey had plans to move to Edmonton for a summer of rugby and working. After a couple trips back and forth between BC and Alberta to visit each other, late August was here before we knew it. Casey moved back to Victoria and we have been together ever since. Over the course of our relationship we have had many adventures including a trip to Thailand, camping trips, road trips, and countless adventures in and around Victoria. At the end of August this past summer, a girlfriend of mine asked me to get dressed up and go for dinner with her out in Sidney. On the way there she pulled off of the highway and into the parking lot of the Victoria Flying Club. I was asked to sign a waiver and then ushered onto the runway where Casey was waiting for me. He

proposed and I of course said yes! We then went on a scenic flight overVictoria. To say it was magical would be an understatement! As I mentioned, we have had many adventures over the past few years, but this one really stands out to me. We are set to get married this August and I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for us as we enter this next phase of our relationship."
