Photo highlights from Open Cockpit Day: Visiting Aircraft Edition

September 21, 2023

This past weekend we had the privilege of hosting aircraft and pilots from the Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum in Brandon, Manitoba.

We were joined by: Mark Odegard, Chief Pilot at the CATPM: Jeff Bell, Harvard Mark II pilot; Nick Reeder, Stinson HW75 pilot; Peter Moody, Fairchild Cornell pilot; John McNarry, mechanic and CATPM president; Robert Glover, Tiger Moth pilot.

Nearly 500 of you came out to see our visiting aircraft—thank you for making the day such a success!

Check out our next visiting aircraft event, taking place on October 7.
