The Kelowna Flying Club and its members of the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association (COPA) would like to let people in the Okanagan know that registration for COPA For Kids 2016 is open.
On June 4th, more than 180 Okanagan youth from the ages of eight to 17 will be taking to the skies with pilots generously providing their expertise, time and planes and volunteers from the Kelowna Flying Club organizing the event. Participants will get the chance for a close-up look at aircraft on the ground and attend a short ground school where they will learn about the airplanes, what they do and ask questions about aviation and flying. Pilots will demonstrate how to prepare for each flight with a pre-flight walk around and brief the young flight enthusiasts on safety aspects of their flight before take-off. Then, they take to the skies where they will cruise over the valley before experiencing landing and shut down.

Aviation enthusiasts of all ages are welcome to attend the event as there will be lots for everyone to see and do, even if not participating on a flight. The event includes a number of community aviation related exhibitors and static display aircraft, including Medi-Vac, Search and Rescue, helicopters, charter aircraft, flight schools, Air Cadets, and activities and refreshments for the entire family.
