Promoting the safe enjoyment of aviation for pilots, aircraft builders and enthusiasts.
Each year, COPA flights from Calgary and Lethbridge gather for breakfast in Vulcan, fostering connections among pilots. This year's event on August 19th saw 24 planes and about 36 attendees, including the youngest member, Emma. The tradition continues to grow, enhancing camaraderie and providing a fun reason to fly.
I had an incredible flying weekend, starting with practice landings and a successful fly-in breakfast at Springbank. Enjoyed smooth weather, good company, and even pie afterward. I plan to add wheel skis to my plane for winter and discovered new aircraft products at Oshkosh. Excited for fall flying and upcoming maintenance chores.
Spring brings optimism for flying after a challenging March. Upcoming fly-ins are anticipated, alongside part-time work at Blue Yonder on multiple kits. The author reflects on Northern bush pilots' adventurous stories from Shirlee Matheson's book, illustrating their resilience and camaraderie. Overall, a spirited appreciation for aviation and its history prevails.
