he title may be a bit presumptuous considering the many very talented photographers out there. And, having taken my first aircraft picture at age 13 in 1964 (a KLM DC-8 at Montreal/Dorval), some have questioned this ‘20-year celebration’ of mine. The fact is, between 1975 and 2000 I did almost no aviation photos at all. Then one morning in June of 2000, Hélène, my wife, came Tinto the house saying, “You’ll never guess what’s in the garage on the other side of the street.” On July 2, 2000, Hélène tells me, “Go meet him.

He had many good reasons to be, as he suffers severe sleep apnea and requires a CPAP machine at night, our work requires daily email access, and the plethora Yof photography, navigation and electronic equipment we fly with demands overnight recharging. Weeks of off-the-grid, under-wing camping, surrounded by forest or sand dunes, seemed downright impossible. But after attempting several single-night camping forays at an un- serviced island airstrip, we were hooked. Since then, we’ve made weekend tent trips and long summer camping itineraries part of our regular aviation experience. Here’s how we do it.

GROUNDED A Joint Initiative of COPA and Ottawa’s Flight 8 by Laura Matheson, Vice-president, COPA Flight 8

While COVID-19 has resulted in many restrictions, particularly affecting the world of aviation, it has also bred innovation. The new GROUNDED web series is one such example, presented by COPA’s NextGen initiative (run by and for members aged from 16 to 35) in partnership with Ottawa’s COPA Flight 8.— Lauren Nagle.

Things were just starting to take off for Ottawa’s COPA Flight 8, recently resurrected after a five-year hiatus. I worked alongside President Cameron Boekhoff and Secretary Gabriel Mug- lia to shape what we wanted the flight to represent and plan how to effectively work on behalf of local aviators. With growing community support and new faces at our meetings, the future was bright and exciting.

BC Communities Honour Captain Casey Snowbird Officer Continues to Inspire Canadians By Cynthia Prescott

A dedicated member of the Canadian Forces Snowbirds air demonstration team, Captain Jennifer Casey, was fa- tally injured in the May 17 crash of the Tutor jet she was a passenger in. The pilot, Captain Richard MacDougall, was seriously injured. This accident oc- curred during Operation Inspiration, a month-long cross-Canada flight to salute the front-line health care workers, first responders and essential workers, but also all Canadians doing their part to stop the spread of COVID-19. We are all, as Canadians, deeply saddened and grieve alongside Jen- nifer Casey’s family and friends. Our thoughts are also with the loved ones of Captain Richard MacDougall, and we hope for a swift recovery from his injuries. Casey, a former journalist, was 35 years old and was the public affairs officer for the Canadian Forces Snow- birds. She was an inspiration for Ca- nadians and especially for women involved in aviation. She will never be forgotten. To honour and pay tribute to these fallen pilots and the CAF Snowbirds team, pilots from the British Columbia General Aviation Association organized and launched Operation Backup Inspiration, with a mass flight over dif- Tribute flights were also organized at Glacier Air's Collette Morin led a group ferent cities and hospitals across Brit- other British Columbia locations. of area pilots over Squamish and Whistler, B.C. ish Columbia’s Lower Mainland, with Ninety-Nines member and Glacier safety being of paramount importance.

Region Sees Three New Directors Elected New Energy and Diversity

COPA members resident in Alberta, the Candace Pardo Henry Vos Northwest Territories and Saskatch- ewan have elected new directors to replace retiring directors Bram Tilroe and Larry Biever, both of whom repre- sented Alberta and the N.W.T., and Sas- katchewan director Shane Armstrong, who resigned from the board a few months ago. The results of the online election were announced in the May 15 issue of eFlight. The new directors elected to represent Alberta and the N.W.T. are Henry Vos and Ken Zachkewich. Candace Pardo was elected to represent Saskatchewan. Henry Vos is an experienced pilot with a commercial pilot licence and an instructor rating. Although not his main career, he operates an ultralight flight school near Peace River, Alberta using a Pipistrel Alpha Trainer. Ken Zachkewich is a chiropractor by day and a passionate private pilot the rest of the time. One of the founders and the first president of COPA Flight 165 — Lac La Biche Flying Club, Zach- kewich has also played a key role in creating and continuing the annual Lac La Biche Ice Fly-in or, as he and others prefer to call it, Canada’s other favourite winter fly-in.

Special Announcements

IMPORTANT: The following information is confidential and should only be distributed to personnel within your company as necessary.

November 17, 2014 Dear valued Lightspeed dealer, With the holiday season approaching, we wanted to reach out and make sure you are up to date on all of the exciting things VISIT OURhappening atBRANTFORD Lightspeed. As it turns out, the highly successful STORElaunch of our Zulu PFX headset this summer was just the beginning. Please read below for the following topics: Aircraft Spruce Canada• CES Innovation is atAwards 150 Honoree Aviation Avenue on Brantford Municipal Airport.• LightspeedThis 20,000 online training square available foot facility serves as a fully • Holiday gift with purchase promotion stocked distribution• Lightspeed warehouse Aviation Adventure for Flightour Bag Canadian Launch customers!

Lightspeed Aviation has been named a 2015 CES Innovation Awards Honoree for our Zulu PFX www.aircraftspruce.caANR aviation headset. Products entered into this prestigious program are judged by an expert ORDER YOUR FREE panel of independent industrial designers, independent engineers and members of the consumer 2019-2020 CATALOG! electronics trade media assembled to honor outstanding design and engineering in cutting edge 1000 PAGES OF PRODUCTS! Call Toll Freeconsumer 1-877-795-2278 electronics products across 28 product categories. Zulu PFX won in the In-Vehicle Accessories/Control/Navigation category. The CES Innovation Awards are sponsored by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)®, the producer of the International Consumer Electronics Show. Entries are evaluated on their engineering, aesthetic and design qualities, intended use/function and user value, how the design and innovation of the product directly compares to other products in the marketplace and the unique/novel features present. Products chosen as CES Innovation Honorees reflect innovative design and engineering in some of the most cutting edge tech products and services coming to market. I don’t think I can overstate what this honor means to Lightspeed, but what this means to you as a dealer is that in addition to the innovative features that speak for themselves and the great reviews that keep rolling in from pilots and prominent aviation editors, you can now point to the CES award as solid proof that Zulu PFX is a groundbreaking product, even when compared with products across other industries.

Become a Lightspeed expert with online training With such great reviews being published in nearly all of the key general aviation publications (and now the CES Innovation Award) we are expecting interest in all of our products to increase significantly, so now is the time to make sure you are prepared to answer any questions. Our website offers a wealth of resources, including detailed product descriptions, educational videos, FAQs for each product, and an easy-to-understand primer on active noise cancellation. Because Zulu PFX incorporates many features never before seen in aviation headsets, several months ago we created an exciting, easy to access online training platform. The Zulu PFX Sales Training course consists of six short modules, each followed by a brief interactive quiz. We’ve designed the course so that an average trainee can finish all six modules in less than 30 minutes (but the course does not have to be completed in one sitting). One of the most exciting features of this training platform is that it allows us to track the progress of trainees, giving us an idea of our dealers’ readiness regarding their knowledge of Zulu PFX. Many of our dealers have already taken advantage of this free resource. If you aren’t one of them, don’t miss this opportunity to increase your staff’s readiness. This will be an important step to ensuring a confident sales team and a successful holiday selling season. To access the course, go to http://training.lightspeedaviation.com/PublicCoursePage.aspx, click on Zulu PFX Sales Training Course, and follow the steps to register. It is important that all trainees include their company name in their registration information.
