The latest facility offered by the Sisteron
club is a new pilots' clubhouse, situated in the old tug-pilots' building at
the north end of the main hangar. Old-timers will remember its still earlier
incarnation as the Pegasus Bar, which was run with such panache by former
club member Epsi, now rumoured to be a highly-respected commercial airline
pilot. The new clubhouse is completely separate from the Janus restaurant in
all respects and allows pilots and their families to enjoy some cool shelter
without feeling the need to purchase something from the Janus.
A large number of club members have supplied an enormous effort to get it ready for the season. There are
hot and cold drinks available, and breakfasts - the cost is one Euro per
drink, into an honesty box (remember them?). Also, there will be a weekly
barbecue and weekly aperitifs. We intend to take full advantage of the new clubhouse bar for some in-depth post
flight 'analysis'.
