Rideau Lakes (Westport) Fly-in 2019 - Cancelled

By Mike Miles

I'd like to invite you and all of your fliers to our Spring Fling Fly-in happening on Saturday, May 18 from 8:00 - 13:00. As usual, the flying will be at the Westport airfield (Co-ordinates (N) 43 39 93 (W) 76 23 92) or about a kilometer south of Westport off Highway 10.

As you know, we have one of the nicest grass strips in the region and a great water landing area (we come and get you off the water for transport to the field). Breakfast starts around 8:30 and is available until around noon (donations appreciated) but the field is open as long as people want to stay and catch up.

A great way to start the long weekend, weather willing - see you in Westport!!!

Update - Fly-in cancelled

The fly in is cancelled. The field will be NOTAM closed due to standing water on the field.

Pigs and Pies in Westport - Cancelled!!

by Mike Miles, Rideau Lakes Flying Club/COPA Flight 56

Planes from all over Ontario and Quebec generally fly in for the day if the weather is good. Last year we had 50+ different kinds of planes to see. The variety of planes is generally diverse, so a great opportunity to fly your own plane in and to talk with pilots of other makes and models. We have a fabulous spread of Octoberfest sausages (the Pigs) and locally baked pies (the Pies) available for a simple donation.

Love to see you and your members back at Westport on Saturday October 06, either as single plane but preferably as groups of planes from your own Club. For more information you can contact me at 613-276-6276 or Bill Green at (613) 273-5282.

• Date: Saturday 06 October 2018

Westport Pigs & Pies Fly-In 2017

Fly-in This coming Saturday at Westport - 20 May 17

By Mike Miles, Rideau Lakes Flying Club

This is just a friendly reminder (and a heart-felt request) that you circulate the attached information and e-mail to your members. We are a small but active grass-and-gravel strip just north of Kingston and we would LOVE to see your members attend our upcoming annual spring fly-in. The airstrip is 3100 feet long so we can accommodate just about any GA aircraft. The fly-in starts at 8:00 AM and goes until 13:00 or thereabouts. Last spring we had 53 aircraft (including ultralights, GA wheeled aircraft and float planes - we have landing on water in Westport with great docking facilities and car transportation to the field). A great breakfast available for a donation.

The following is the blurb we put on the COPA Website:
