Does anyone know of an indoor flying facility in Vancouver?

Cheers,
Andy

I found the perfect place to fly indoors today. We were given a tour of the new Vancouver Convention Center. Ballroom A,B,C, and D were wide open with 55 000 sq. ft of totally open room, no obstructions and with a wonderful view of the harbor. Their exhibition halls had a total area of 125 000 sq. ft, but had large pillars at regular intervals (Lily, our personal guide, said it was the area of 4 football fields). Both areas were not in use today, the 22nd of Dec. Book early as they'll be holding a convention soon with 25 000 participants. I bet you could use the ballrooms free if you worked there. I used our school gym free. Otherwise, you'll need very deep pockets

Indoor flying at the Big Red Barn. Starts at 6:00pm to 10:00pm. Need to show your MAAC and it's a $15 door fee.

Close to Extream Hobbies is on Airport RD. Take the Vedder exit, make a right this turns into Yale drive about a KL then turn right on Airport rd. 7/11 is on the corner. then drive down Airport about a Kl and Extream is on the left hand side. The Red barn is about 10min from there.

Maybe call Extream Hobbies to find the exact address.

If you go to extreme first you have gone 10 min too far

Heritage park(red barns) is on your right off highway 1 @ Lickman Exit , you CAN'T miss it.
Extream is about 10 min east from there. but look for the Petro can on the far corner turning onto airport not 7/11 and a produce market on your right them proceed as Vasy said.

Redbarn indoor flying is a great place to fly at, i flew there a few time last year and it was a blast. This year i havent gotten a chance to go to any yet as my parents are too busy to drive me.

Nice video vasy, is that your blender?

vasy · 12-25-2010, 02:06 AM

Haha, I wish.
No, I just know a guy with the stryker that keep crashing in that video.
I have not been to the barn yet, don't have a slow flier yet.
