Spring Fling Fly-in
May 20, 2023 Westport ON (CRL2) – COPA Flight 56:
Spring Fling Fly-in Cancelled due to Wet Weather
We've been watching the weather for the last week or so and the only variation in the predictions for rain on Saturday is an increase in the likelihood that it will rain (we're at 80% now). In fairness to all (the fliers who may be tempted, our club members who will have to eat 20 lbs of ham and 120 eggs, etc.), we (myself in consultation with the executive group) have agreed that we should cancel.
Prior to last year, this would mean that we have only the Pigs and Pies event in October. Starting last year, however, you will remember that we started the new annual "ultralite friendly" fly-in in July. We have already scheduled this for July 15 and advertised it on the COPA website. So, for all you flyers and interested viewers, let's prepare for that one and hope we have good weather then.
See you all at the field in July.
Ultralight-Focused Fly-in Event
July 15, 2023 Westport ON (CRL2) – COPA Flight 56
Second annual ultralight-focused fly-in in Westport. This option to fly has become increasingly
popular among flyers who are seeking affordable powered flight. In North America, ultralight
aircraft now account for a significant percentage of civilian-owned aircraft. A recent survey
indicated that the ultralight aircraft fleet made up to 20.4% of the total civilian aircraft registered
in Canada. We will again host this annual event to give ultralight flyers in our area a chance to
fly together, enjoy the field and the town, and give all visitors to the day the chance to see many
models of ultralights up-close.
The event opens at 09:00 and hamburgers and salad will be available from 10:00 – 12:00 for a
donation. Come on down and see these unique and innovative aircraft. For more information,
please contact Mike Miles at 613-276-6276 (drmikemiles@gmail.com) or Chris Tabor 613-353-
6711 (chris.tabor@gmail.com)
