COPA for Kids
The Kamloops Flying Club under sponsorship with the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association offer kids from ages 8-17 years and opportunity to experience flight in a smaller general aviation aircraft. This cost of the program is covered by the pilots of the aircraft involved. Our club wishes to foster an increased awareness of the joys and freedom of general aviation. It is clear that pilot numbers have been decreasing over the last few years and there is a need for pilots for the future. Note: This year the minimum age has been raised to 8 years of age.
