Staple Moments from the Flight

Meeting and Congratulations from the Canadian Snowbirds 

As part of the Manitoba Airshow, we had the honour of spending time with the Canadian Snowbirds Demonstration Team, Canada's military acrobatic flight demonstration team. We were congratulated on our mission to inspire and give wings to the next generation of Canadian pilots and on our flight across Canada. A huge thanks to all Snowbirds members, past and present, for making this happen - the weekend was a privilege of a lifetime!

Presenting at Canada's National Aviation and Space Museum

On July 25-26 2024, our founder Lucas Dejmek was invited as a guest speaker to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum. He shared tales and adventures from the flight as well as breathtaking images of Canada from the sky before holding a hands-on activity in which attendees could try on his flying headset, listen to pilots on the radio, play with maps and instruments, and take photos! We thank the museum for their incredible hospitality and cannot wait to be back next year!

Exclusive visit of the Last Airworthy Canadian WWII Lancaster Bomber

We were honoured to be invited aboard the last airworthy Canadian WWII Lancaster Bomber! This legendary aircraft played a vital role during WWII, renowned for its range, payload capacity, and resilience. Maintained by the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton, Ontario, this Lancaster is a living tribute to the crews who served. A sincere thank you to the Museum for granting us an exclusive experience that few get to enjoy.

Leaving Canada Touched, Moved and Inspired

The Wings of Opportunity Foundation's Cross-Canada flight served as an inspiration for young aspiring aviators  from coast to coast to believe in their dreams. After every landing, we met passionate individuals whose stories reminded us why the work we do is so vital. Each stop along the way brought stories of resilience, passion, and hope—reminding us that the next generation of aviators is ready to take flight, and that the sky is truly not the limit, but just the beginning.
