About Us
We are the Oshawa area chapter, called COPA Flight 70. We include aviators in the area around Oshawa, from Pickering 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 55 pilots. We meet once a month and discuss local aviation issues, assist other pilots in procedures, share information, education, etc. Except in the summer, meetings are usually held on the first Thursday of the month at 19:30 at the 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 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, in aviation activities.
Meetings and fly-outs are open to anyone, pilots or not. Guests are always welcome.
Everyone is welcome to sign up to the Yahoo Forum, since there is often news of interest to area aviators, in addition to COPA 70 information.
Our chapter membership fee is $ 20.00 / year. Bring a snack such as a bag of pretzels, or peanuts, or cookies to a meeting once in a while ;-)

Why join COPA National ?
As the recognized voice of general aviation in Canada, the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association, a non-profit organization has spent five decades supporting and defending the right of Canadians to enjoy the freedom of Canadian airspace.
Since its founding in 1952, COPA has been dedicated to opening doors and removing barriers to the growth of aviation. COPA raises the awareness of important issues facing the flying community, promotes air safety through education and works to lower the cost of flying.
As a COPA national member you have access to a number of valuable resources, including reduced aviation insurance. In addition to a COPA Flight 70 membership, a COPA National membership is strongly recommended.
