The Durham Flight Training Centre and the Ninety-Nines hosted the ninth annual Girls Take Flight event at Oshawa Municipal Airport on Saturday, April 29th. Despite the weather, the event in Oshawa had a good turnout. There were numerous exhibits and activities available in the hangars, open from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Some of the exhibitors included the Durham Flight Centre, Ninety-Nines, Enterprise Aviation Group, Air Canada, Jazz, Porter Airlines, WestJet, Oshawa Executive Airport, and COPA.
The outdoor aircraft displays featured a variety of aircraft, such as the De Havilland DHC-8 Q400 from Porter Airlines, Air Canada Express Bombardier CRJ200, the Durham Regional Police JetRanger helicopter, vintage and classic aircraft, military vehicles, fire trucks, and more. Participants had the opportunity to experience state-of-the-art virtual reality, an F-18 cockpit simulator, and take photos with an airline captain.
The First Canadian Chapter of the Ninety-Nines and the Durham Flight Training Centre offered a chance to win a free first flight lesson for women and girls interested in learning to fly.
