OUR PAST
OUR AIRPORT HAS WITHSTOOD THE TEST OF TIME WITH THANKS TO MANY INFLUENTIAL AVIATORS WHO CALLED THIS HOME BASE.
The World War 2 airman who trained here to defend our country.
Dorothy Rungeling who has been enshrined in aviation as a pioneer of female pilots and who’s name our airport is identified with.
Geoffrey Brooks, who envisioned and developed the Welland Airport Commission.
H. Bruce Macritchie, who operated the airport for over 30 years, through unstable times in the general aviation industry when many small airports were unable to survive.
Mr. Macritchie throughout that period led a group of volunteers, restoring 6 World War 2 aircraft along with 4 Vintage aircraft.
COPA members whose dedication and selfless acts of kindness to children has undoubtedly spawned some of the aviators of today and continues to enhance the airport with their volunteer activities and pride of being part of an organization that quietly makes a difference every day in many lives.
The Air Cadets have been a fixture at the airport for ages. Their leadership of youth has provided us with our leaders in the past, present and future.
We also honour every pilot and person that has utilized our airport because without them, we do not exist.
