COPA for Kids is a national program designed to give an introduction to general aviation to kids aged 8 - 17 years. Participants are given a briefing about how the aircraft operates and then enjoy a local flight of about 20 minutes. Flights are provided free of charge by local pilots in their own aircraft. The Northwest Territories Floatplane Association/COPA Flight 108 will host its annual COPA for Kids event on Saturday, July 29, 2017 from the Wardair Dock in Yellowknife, NT. Flights will be scheduled for 9:00 am, 10:00 am, and 11:00 am departures. All flights will be in floatplanes. Space is limited so book your child's flight early! Online registration is required.
