Faith Hope & Charity Barnstorming Co.
2023 is our 11th season with a total goal of $100,000. We are currently at $100,579 in donations! Ops are from May to October, weather permitting.
We fly in Support of BC Children's Hospital with a 1941 Boeing bi-plane, a true charity where 100% of one's donation goes to the Hospital, and in return, a scenic 30 minute flight on a set route around the Grand Forks, BC area, as well as a tax receipt. Come fly with us and help the kids out!
Thank you Fiona and Tom Kramer for your generous donation to BC Children’s Hospital! Tighe Kramer up front for his ride, once he got the feel of the airplane his flying was very very good, maintained a steady 6600’, the turns were all coordinated and the flight was smooth. Last pic is Fiona, Tighe, Charlie and Tom. Thank you very much, and Tally-Ho!
Phoenix Fire Attack Squadron 600, Grand Forks. Pictures of the environment whilst on a fire, the crews work with burning trees which must be felled or candling can occur on the forest canopy if the wind picks up causing fire to race out of control. A modified DeHavilland Dash-8 tanker dropping its load of fire retardant, Tim had to duck behind a tree for that drop! A cedar stump on fire, these can burn along the root systems and cause problems later on. Three crews of Fire Attack personnel at the ready on 5-minute standby, they will not look like this after a day on the job! Thanks for the pics Tim, we wish you and the crews safety and success with your efforts!
Eric Johnstone of Glacier Helicopters based in Revelstoke (and on 5-minute standby in Grand Forks for fires) did some creative filming and shared this video with us!

Showing the Boeing at warm up, taxi to runway and then at a gallop to become airborne. Thanks Eric and safe flying during this fire season!

A natural flyer for sure! Autumn Zibin caught on almost immediately, she’s off to do 4 years of University back East. Her Dad thought a flight in the Boeing would be a good present. Thank you Mike for donation to BC Children’s Hospital! Pics are Autumn with her Dad Mike, and Sarka Tvrdik who worked hard to get Mike to the airport on this hot day!
Shelley’s long overdue crew ride on Sunday! Thank you for your unwavering dedication with fundraising for BC Children’s Hospital! There are a limited number of rides this year; sponsors are needed to keep going (mechanical and fuel).
And a clip of 007's ground handling skills ...
