On October 5th, 2024, the team successfully returned the Cherokee back to CYJN! Thank you to Marc, our mechanic, Paul, our test pilot, Mario, the farmer, members of the CYJN community, and the many 99s who worked tirelessly to make it all come together.
Now, it's time for the repairs to begin! Your generous donations will allow us to perform the work required and to get the plane back in the air.
This spring, the Cherokee experienced a rough running engine and landed in a farmer's field. The team decided to keep the plane in place until the exact problem could be determined. After months of investigation and troubleshooting by various AMEs, consultants and Cherokee experts, we have finally found the problem in the right tank fuel line which aligned with all the evidence collected.
Now that we have a repair and rescue plan in place, we need YOUR HELP to fund these plans!
Your funds will support the repairs and transport, ensuring the continued operation of the aircraft.
Canada Helps will automatically generate a receipt for your charitable donation. For contributions greater than $500, please email treasurer_ecs@canadian99s.com to complete an e-transfer.
Fueled by the generosity of aviation enthusiasts like you, Piper Cherokee 140, C-FWQS, takes flight from Saint Jean Sur Richelieu, just 30 minutes from Montreal. This aircraft has been generously donated to the Eastern Canada Section and serves as a beacon of opportunity for aspiring female pilots in the region.
Our goal: To provide an affordable and accessible platform for female pilots to accumulate flight hours on C-FWQS and gain invaluable experience, empowering them to realize their aviation aspirations. With rental costs as low as $40 per hour (dry), the Cherokee makes aviation dreams attainable for women across Canada, supporting our vision of achieving gender parity within the aviation industry.
Your generous contribution will play a vital role in ensuring the sustainability of this extraordinary project. The goal of this campaign is to cover essential operational costs for 2024, ensuring that the aircraft remains readily available for our pilots who are eager to take to the skies and follow their passion for aviation.
