Regina's airport "YQR" on a snowy January day. A banner - promoting the 2009 International Ice Hockey Federation's 2009 Championship games that are happening this week in Saskatchewan - hangs off of a light pole to the right of the picture.
The runway is called Ronald J. Groome field, in honour of the Reginan who returned to the Queen City after the First World War. He and two of his buddies established the Aerial Service Company in 1919 and laid out an airstrip where they could fly ... the first one in Canada.
