COPA National will be highlighting the efforts of COPA Flights that have a real authentic passion, exhibit pride and enthusiasm towards COPA National by promoting their association with COPA National in a conspicuous way on their website. The first of the series, are the Ontario COPA Flights, because I was inspired to start this endeavor by one COPA Flight in Ontario.
I hope to capture all the COPA Flights if I forgot any, please do not hesitate to send me your link at COPAFlights@copanational.org or update your COPA Flight status online https://archive.copanational.org/controlpanel/.

"Besides having the air park for my own plane, to be able to fly basically whenever I want, I saw there was a business side of it," said Banga, who bought the airport with his wife Michelle about three months ago and started work on it almost immediately.
