Luxurious Airplane Tax I have recently been made aware of the Liberal government’s plan to put a 10 percent luxury tax on all private aircraft valued at or above $100,000. I trust COPA, as our national represen- tatives, are fully aware of this and have addressed this short-sighted, ill-con- ceived idea with our federal government.

If our government was thinking about the future of general and commercial aviation in Canada, which of course they are not, they would be implementing ideas that reduce the cost of learning to fly, not just looking at a tool to generate revenue with no thought at all to the consequences.

CAOP Flight 46 — St. Georges/Club aéronautique de Beauce (CYSG) is not only renowned for its friendly and dynamic ambiance, but also for its unique group of pilots doing formation flying, the CAB Boys. On Saturday, September 21, a video documentary about this unique flying activity was produced for Telus TV. On this occasion, twelve of the qualified pilots were present, but only 11 planes flew as one plane, an VR 6, was down for maintenance. Its pilot acted as an aerial photographer aboard a Eurocopter EC120 Colibri. This is how it went. After discussion with the video producer, the process began with a long briefing during which all the ground and air phases were covered in detail, including the positioning of the helicopter for the aerial takes. Beforehand, the aircraft had been placed on the ramp in their respective positions. With their run-ups completed, the eleven aircraft were ready to start simultaneously on cue, awaiting the radio call. Radio check-in and engine started five seconds after reception of the classic command “Gentlemen, start your engines”. Start and pre-takeoff checks completed, a second radio check-in is done followed by taxiing into position onto the 5,100 by 75-foot Runway 24 in sections of two, every 200 feet.

A Lifetime of Achievements CAOP Member Glenn Oerzen Earns Prestigious Award By Steve Drinkwater

When the British Columbia Aviation Council (BCAC) went looking for a wor- thy individual to honour with its annual Lifetime Achievement Award this year, there were a few nominations. After a review of the nominees, BCAC’s award committee eventually focussed on one individual — Glenn Oerzen. Oerzen has quite an impressive résu- mé. A private pilot licence holder since his 17th birthday, he followed it with a commercial licence on his 18th birthday (both licences self-financed from his earnings as a lifeguard). A military career saw him become a CT-114 Tu- tor flight instructor, followed by a full, two-year tour as a pilot in the Snow- birds demonstration squadron.

Newfoundland’s Flying Boat Festival Over 400 Gather at Historic Sea Plane Base By Lauren Nagel

While most of us would settle for a single witness to our best landings, one seaplane crew was welcomed by an adoring crowd upon their arrival in Botwood, Newfoundland and Labra- dor this past August. Few outside this community are aware of the Flying Boat Festival that takes place in Bot- wood each summer, with fun activities planned for an entire long weekend. The festivities celebrate the flying boats that created the initial phase of commercial transatlantic aviation, an industry that put Botwood on the map back in 1937. This town harbours a rich piece of Canadian aviation history, though an actual flying boat had, until this year, not landed there in years. Botwood became an important centre for military and aviation activity in the 1930s, in addition to its role as a shipping port. Its importance grew significantly when, in 1933, Charles and World War as any passengers travelling Euclid’s Veebee (a Republic Seabee Anne Lindbergh stopped in Botwood to or from North America did so via decertified and re-registered as a homebuilt) on Botwood’s slipway. in their Lockheed Sirius floatplane the seaplane port.
