COPA
COPA was invited to the official launch of the CAAT2017. "Elevate, Educate, Celebrate" is their motto, expressing the spirit and purpose of this tour.

As they descended to strains of The Ride of the Valkyries and the French and Canadian national anthems, the SkyHawks, in their distinctive maple leaf chutes, unfurled a French flag and streamed blue, white and red smoke in honour of La Patrouille de France, the renowned jet aerobatic team of France's Armée de l'Air.

Every pilot has the message drummed into him or her that if it suddenly goes quiet, they must "aviate, navigate, communicate" and "fly the airplane." A Taiwanese pilot of a two-seat aircraft epitomized those qualities during a recent off-airport landing that was naturally captured from start to finish by his passenger's cellphone. Many of the shots from the right seat show the perfectly centered prop just beyond the windscreen and others show the steely nerved pilot's concentration on getting them down safely.
