The GPS coordinates are provided on the Airport web page.

Community Involvement

As part of our interest in flying and community involvement we have been involved in COPA for Kids since 2010 and have taken hundreds of students on an introductory flight. After learning about flight in their science class this was an ideal way for them to experience the practical aspects of flying.

COPA for Kids is an aviation program that is free to Kids. It brings together young people who are interested in the science of flight with licensed pilots where the pilots will provide you with an aviation informative introduction and then take you up for a flight. An introduction to this program can be found on the COPA for Kids website. REGISTRATION is now OPEN for 2018.

Fly-in Breakfast and Show and Shine

Olds-Didsbury Flying Association is joining with Mountain View Pistons to hold a Fly-in Pancake Breakfast and Show and Shine. Mountain View Pistons is coming to the Olds-Didsbury Airport on June 16, 2018 for their Annual Show and Shine. This is their 13th Annual Show And Shine and it is being combined with a Fly-In.
