Aircraft Exhibition
Aircrafts from everywhere in Canada and some from the United States visit us for this special weekend. Most of them are coming from the Province of Québec, Ontario and Atlantic Provinces.
Come see them and have a very close look at the numerous jewels that are parked on the airfield. You will see a lot of homebuilts made of tube and fabric, all metal, composites, wood and fabric; some classic planes like Piper, Cessna, Mooney and many more ...; ultra-lights, commercial planes and if we are lucky there will also be antiques and military planes.
New aircrafts are seen on site every year. Most often they are new amateur built sport planes that are flying off their nest for the first time. The builders take the occasion the show their masterpiece to friends and colleagues.

Flea Market
You are looking for a special part or a good deal on standard aviation products. Come see the stocks in the Flea Market. If you have parts to sell, it is a good occasion to bring them here. Some volunteers can even sell them for you if you do not want to sell them yourself.
This activity is free for all visitors that have aircraft parts for sale. All you have to do is to bring them with you and we will provide you with floor space in the flea market area (inside/outside). If you prefer not to worry about selling them yourself, a volunteer will try to sell them for you at no cost. So if you think that something good for an aircraft lovers is sleeping in your house for no good reason, bring it to the Fly-In and you might make a peaceful builder to turn out to a Mexican jumping bean!
