On Sunday, June 17, the airport will host its YPK Community Airport Day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the main parking lot of the airport.

There will be vintage and collectible aircraft and automobiles, and live music.

At 1 p.m. MP Randy Kamp will speak, and after that the Pacific Sky Divers will perform.

There will be airplane and helicopter demonstrations around 3 p.m. as well. Kids can take a free ride in an airplane, sponsored by the Aero Club of B.C. Adults can also go on flights for a subsidized cost.

Returning favourites, such as the children's ride-on airplane train and static aircraft exhibition, will be joined by new displays by popular aircraft manufacturers and introductory flights.

Everyone is welcome to take advantage of the many displays by flight schools and colleges, and professionals on hand to answer questions.
