Find YOUR Wings is half-day program developed to help mark Prince Edward Flying Club’s 70th anniversary celebrations.
This event will introduce girls and young women to careers within the aviation industry with the purpose of encouraging the exploration of careers they might have dreamed about but were afraid to try. Or careers they didn’t know existed!
We want to inspire them to broaden their horizons, follow their dreams, believe in themselves, and think about the great things they can achieve.
In our clubhouse and hangars, visit numerous booths (6’ table lengths with space for banners/flags) staffed by representatives from aviation-related companies, e.g., Air Cadets, RCAF, flight schools, universities and colleges, and female pilot support, e.g., 99s, Northern Lights Aero Foundation, and Elevate Aviation.
Tour the flight line to see static displays of local light aircraft. Talk with real pilots from PEFC, flying schools, and other airports. Step inside a real RCAF CF-18 cockpit. Throughout the afternoon, women involved in aviation will present short 20-minute “in conversation with” discussions, followed by Q&A.
Families & all ages welcome! FREE event!! RAIN or SHINE!!
