Copa Flight Information

COPA is short for Canadian Owners and Pilots Association. We are the Oshawa area chapter, called COPA Flight 70. We include aviators in the area around Oshawa, from Toronto to Cobourg, and north past Port Perry. This includes Oshawa and Greenbank airports, as well as a number of private strips. Our primary purpose is to share the camaraderie of flying. We are also interested in promoting aviation and aviation safety. We are a group of about 40 pilots. We meet once a month and discuss local aviation issues, assist other pilots in procedures, share information, education, etc. Except July and August, meetings are usually held on the first Thursday of the month at 19:30 at the RCAFA 420 Wing, 1000 Stevenson Road North, north of Rossland, on the south side of the airfield. Check the Schedule of Events page for meeting dates and guest speakers. We frequently organize informal fly-outs to aviation events, BBQs, weekend outings, etc. and often just fly somewhere for lunch or dinner. Check the Yahoo Forum, since informal flyouts are casually organized, often only a day or two before the weekend. Post a message if you would like to go, so we know to include you. The Schedule of Events page lists major fly-outs and events most likely of interest to our group. We also assist other groups such as the RAA, EAA and the Ninety-Nines in aviation activities and community events, including donating hundreds of free flight experiences for youth and women annually. Meetings and fly-outs are open to anyone, pilots or not.
