TCCAA - airport petition to circulate immediately

[Wayne G. O'Shea]

Forwarding this because I think as RAA members, and/or as members of the aviation community in general, we should also be helping to fight for the survival of Toronto City Centre whether you fly in there or not (just think, it might be a family members required organ(s) for transplant that have no where to land in the years to come!!). Your favourite field could be next on the "hit" list!! Lets not let Toronto City Centre drag on for years, like Megs Field in Chicago did. Voice your opinion now.

Regards,
Wayne G. O'Shea

COPA Flights Urgent NewsFlash


Dear COPA Flight Captains:

This message came in today from Toronto City Centre Airport (Toronto Island). They need the help of the aviation community across Canada to show how important airports are to Canadians. Please read what they have sent and please take action to help COPA save this important airport.

This is important to all aviators in Canada and all COPA flights. Even if you never fly to Toronto, helping to protect this airport from being closed could help you from having to fight to save your local airport next.

Yours truly,

Adam Hunt
