Good afternoon all,

We are looking for youth Volunteers to assist this Saturday 19 August 2023. The COPA organization is holding in Hangar 4 a Discovery flight day for youth that would like to know more about how Airplanes Fly. More information about the event can be found in the link COPA 149 at CNQ3 – Discover Aviation

This is not a cadet activity and more of an Volunteer opportunity.

Thank you

Capt Silva
