A flight school aimed exclusively at Indigenous students is under financial pressure following a surge in applications.
The First Nations Technical Institute on the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, near Belleville, Ontario, has operated a flight program for First Nations, Métis and Inuit students since 1989.
Enrolment in the program had dropped off in recent years, but the numbers have rebounded after the school put more efforts into marketing and outreach to youth on social media.

COPA was invited to the official launch of the CAAT2017. "Elevate, Educate, Celebrate" is their motto, expressing the spirit and purpose of this tour.
One of the most ambitious Canada 150 projects is an understatement. We all know air shows are weather dependant and can be a major let down when Mother Nature does not cooperate.

Imagine climbing into the immaculate, custom-crafted interior of a Cessna Caravan seaplane with six of your closest friends and setting off from Vancouver, Victoria or Nanaimo, British Columbia.
You chatter away or sit in awe of the scenery as you navigate some of the most breathtaking stretches of land and water in Canada, stopping here and there to visit some of the country's finest craft breweries.

When proposals for a custom paint job on my second-generation Cirrus came in as high as $25,000 — with up to 10 weeks of down time — I considered stepping up to a newer model. But my investment in numerous upgrades and my comfort with the aircraft in a variety of missions and weather convinced me to keep my ham and stop looking for rye bread.

According to author Nicole Brockbank: My grandfather wanted a chance to fly again nearly 40 years after he retired from a long career with Air Canada, and before that the air force during the Second World War.
So my mom made it happen for his 98th birthday. She signed her dad, Bill Finlay, up for a flying lesson out of an airport in Burlington, Ont.
I got to go along for the ride.
"We'll do a couple of circuits," my grandfather said. "I haven't flown for about 40 years so we'll see how it goes."

Let's get one thing straight right from the start: You cannot have your next plane printed for you. Not now, not soon, probably not ever.
It's a beautiful dream, to be sure, like the Willy Wonka invention that let kids reach into a television screen and pull out a chocolate bar. In this case, you'd work up some CAD drawings, maybe spin an on-screen model around to check your work, then hit command-P, head over to the printer, and taxi out in your new ride. Print me up a couple extra copies, while you’re at it.
