Being a pilot is the secret to longevity, or is it?
A 65 year old man went to the doctor for his Class II physical exam and the
doctor was amazed at what good shape the guy was in. The doctor asked, "To
what do you attribute your good health?"
The old timer said, "I'm a pilot and that's why I'm in such good
shape. I 'm up well before daylight, climb all over the aircraft doing my
preflight inspection, flying all day, etc."
The doctor said, "Well, I'm sure that helps, but there's got to be more to
it. How old was your dad when he died?"
The old timer said, "Who said my dad's dead?"
The doctor said, "You mean you're 65 years old and your dad's still alive?
How old is he?"
The old timer said, "He's 84 yrs old and, in fact, he built and flies his
own airplane and he went flying with me this morning. That's why he's still
alive... he's a pilot too!"
The doctor said, "Well, that's great, but I'm sure there's more to it. How
about your dad's dad? How old was he when he died?"
The old timer said, "Who said my grandpa's dead?"
The doctor said, "You mean your dad is 84 years old and his father is still
living! How old is he?"
The old timer said, "Grandpa is 102 years old and he was a pilot too."
The doctor was getting frustrated at this point and said, "I guess he went
flying with you this morning too?"
The old timer said, "No...Grandpa couldn't go this morning because he just
got married and he's on his honeymoon."
The doctor said in amazement, "Got married!! Why would a 102-year-old guy
want to get married?"
The old timer said, "Who said he wanted to?"

An
invitation from us to you
 We
would like to meet you...
You may know us as a shop that fixes Ag
Airplanes.
But we also maintain General
Aviation Aircraft and we would love the opportunity
to meet you and your aircraft.
We invite you to visit our shop or give
us a call on our toll free number. Introduce yourself to
us and let's have a chat about your aircraft.
Whether you are looking for a maintenance alternative or
a new parts source, maybe even having someone market your
aircraft, we would be happy to help! We are pilots and aircraft
owners too, we understand how important your investment
is to you.
Our General Aviation Customers come from across
Saskatchewan:
"The first year I took my PA25 to Yorkton Aircraft they discovered
an aileron cable with three strands left from a wear spot.
That discovery saved me from serious injury or worse. From
that moment on I wanted the comfort of knowing I was getting
the best service available, and that is why I fly my PA25
and C-172 the 240 miles to Yorkton every year."
Wes Ousdahl, Elrose Saskatchewan
"When I finally decided to sell
my aircraft I contracted Yorkton Aircraft to do the C of
A & prepare the aircraft for market. I knew they had
an outstanding reputation and their work would add value
to my aircraft. They represented the aircraft for me during
its sale phase and looked after all the details. I was consulted
the whole time. A very professional company with many talents
on staff to help any aircraft owner, Yorkton Aircraft is
definitely worth flying the distance for." Les
White, Davidson Saskatchewan
