Aviation enthusiasts have a great opportunity to not only see but go up in planes this weekend.
On Sunday, Sept. 8, the Brampton Flight Centre will host its annual Airport Day celebration at the Brampton-Caledon Airport on McLaughlin Road.
The event will feature $50 sightseeing flights, a classic aircraft and automobile show, a chance to try out a flight simulator, a live band, and a barbeque lunch. There will be a birds of prey demonstration, and guests can also visit the Great War Flying Museum.
For kids, there will be bouncy castles and face painting.
Several planes will be taking to the sky and flying throughout the day. Attendees will be able to talk to pilots, some of whom have even built their own planes.
Sam Meandro, a pilot who’s helping to promote this year’s Airport Day event, said it will satisfy anyone’s curiosity about flight and Canada’s role in aviation. He added the Great War Flying Museum is a must-see that’s home to many impressive warplanes and fascinating artifacts.
“This year, we are excited to support Caledon Community Services and encourage all visitors to bring along a non-perishable food item, baby essentials or make a financial contribution.”
The Brampton Flying Club is a not-for-profit organization and the only flight school in Canada that owns and operates an airport. It was founded in 1946 and relocated to Caledon in 1969.
