First Canadian EAA Convention Coming This Fall

By Jack Dueck, Editor

Canadian EAA members will finally realize an opportunity for the world’s largest recreational flying organization to spread its wings north into Canada. From September 17 through 19, EAA members will be hosting their first Canadian EAA convention. It will be held in conjunction with the Vintage Wings’ “Victoria Cross” air show in Gatineau, P.Q., just 15 minutes northeast of Ottawa.

Vintage Wings of Canada is perhaps Canada’s most prestigious aviation museum of historically significant airworthy aircraft. It was founded by former Cognos CEO and philanthropist Michael Potter, and is open to the public free of charge, Monday to Saturday (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; advance notice is requested so that a hangar tour can be set up). Most of its aircraft are in flying condition, and the list of historic aircraft is most impressive.
