Canadian Aviation Expo & Europa Kit Aircraft

[Europa Pete]

For the homebuilders or future builders in southern Ontario, the Europa kit aircraft
factory folks will be attending the Aviation Expo (Canada's largest aviation
show) this weekend on June 18th at the Oshawa Airport, with a tri-gear demo
ship. With luck a local builder will also fly in with his fine turbo monowheel example on the Saturday.
I'll also be there in the booth with a short wing as it comes from the factory as an example.

Since the factory rarely attends a Canadian show, I thought it might be of
interest to fliers in Ontario who have not had the good fortune to attend
Osh or Sun'N'Fun.

Cheers & blue skies,
Pete

Gee it's nice to see that Canada's largest Aviation Show is in Oshawa <_<

Surely you jest B)

 

[Europa Pete]

If not which is?

It'd have to be the Hokey Pokey Fly-In at my uncle Bobs farm. He gets a t least 4 other Cessna's in during his soiree, and one time he had a gyrocopter control land in the far back corner of the field. They needed the massey ferguson to pull that sucker out of the sumac and rhubarb.

This year he's planning on a bigger and better show, i think there might be at least two more cessna's and a piper flying in 😀

 

[Europa Pete]

Oh well, I thought he was serious. 🙂

For Canada, I'm not aware of an exposition larger than the annual one at Oshawa for GA. Definitely not on the same scale as anything in the US, but it's about right for the 10% pilot ratio. At least most of the recognizable names attend the show and there are indeed quite a few folks flying in for the event if the weather is good.

Is there actally another non-military or purely commercial aviation exposition in Canada somewhere?

Curious,
Pete 🙂

Maggie, you're pretty funny when you're not aggravating

On a more serious note, doesn't Abbotsford have a half decent air show??!!

 

[MagSeal]

seems I found another guy who finds me aggravating, but he used alot of different words.
Seems he hates me so much that he decided to write a big paragraph about me in another thread. I'm saddened by the whole affair. I wish I was a better person, I wish I could be nice to people, I wish I still worked for CHL..... :wacko:
I wish I didn't take the whole bottle of my medication..... 😀

I'm actually going to clean up my act when I find a 12 step program tailored to my unique problem that actually works. So far, I make step one, and the therapist runs away.
Once I get into the program that works, I'll open up, bare my soul, beg for forgiveness. fall off the wagon, try it all again, until one day I'm a new man. But until that day, I'm keeping my posts well rounded and versatile. You'll like some, hate some, and simply cringe on others. Don't want anyone to really figure me out of course.
Still can't figure out Uncle Bob....

Magseal...those little blue pills sold over the internet are to be taken with care...by taking 6 a day all the blood is seeping from the skull into the other end leaving a vast void that can only be filled with a good brand of (name your poison).

😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

I hope Uncle Bob's back forty can accommodate a few more airyplanes 'cause rumour has it the Uncle Chuck from the wet coast will be in attendance with his PBY-5A

And Abbotsford's airshow is an overrated, over priced...same old thing every year.

i just got invited by my sis and bro-in-law to help use up some airmiles they have... they have arranged for me to visit the lethbridge airshow in august... anyone else been there, going there, have any comments about how good it is, isn't, etc???

Hey Twinnie, a friend and I might be going to that one. Assuming we can convince the higher-ups to let us go. It's supposed to be a reasonable airshow. I know they've had the B1 there. Saw it take out the fence at the Aeroshell in YYC when it tried to leave to go home. I'll let you know if we get clearance for the trek.

 

[twinstar_ca]

sounds great, randy...

 

[jetbox]

Don't get all pissy Maggie, that was supposed to be a compliment!!

 

[MagSeal]

I know where it's coming from with you, no offence taken from your remarks....

The other guy though......
