Sightseeing tours

June 26-2020
Lake Country Airways of Orillia is hoping to put a Beaver up in Parry Sound this summer.  That would be the best place to launch a sight seeing trip to North Bay from. To cover the cost of positioning the aircraft, we'd need about 25 people signed up to fly in groups of 5.  The cost per person would be $120 + tax and that would be for a 30 minute trip.  Any interest should contact Ron Miller at 705 498 3133.

You may or may not be aware, Bob Grant is doing an article on Trout Lake Seaplane base, Fred Culin and he needs photos.

He has checked our website and found a few good ones there. He needs them to be 2mb at least for publication.

Specifically - he is looking for pictures from the Seaplane pilot proficiency,our COPA bbq’s, COPA for Kids or Young Eagles.

If anyone has pictures of Fred and kids, these would be great.

He needs quite a few, so don’t hesitate to send him some and he can decide what he wants to use.
