Amazing Race Canada!

The Freedom Flight Park was lucky enough to have CTV's Amazing Race Canada film the contestants of the show perform a "Road Block" back in May.   Seven teams were left in the show at the time of this episode.  The racers showed up on a Friday night to sign up for their flights the following morning.

Unfortunately the weather was not ideal and we could not launch from our main launch since the wind was blowing the wrong way.  Instead, seven tandem pilots launched with their racer from Saddle Mountain, a rocky, steep and not so friendly launch on the other side of the valley but the skilled pilots pulled it off and there were a lot of smiling faces on the contestants.

The show just aired and you can check out the action here:  ​https://www.ctv.ca/shows/the-amazing-race-canada/im-a-human-kite-s8e5.
