About The Canyon Country Ultralight Club
The Canyon Country Ultralight Club was formed in 2004. We are also a United States Ultralight Club, Club #203. Our members are dedicated to promoting an environment that makes the enjoyment of ultralight activity possible. We are a diverse group with membership consisting of G.A. Pilots and Ultralight Pilots to those who are planning to purchase an aircraft to others who just belong because they just enjoy being involved in this sport.

Events
The Canyon Country Ultralight Club assists The Canyon Pilots Association's each year with their annual fly-in-breakfasts on Memorial Day and Labor Day Sundays. Please join us for a great breakfast and a great time. The pilots have served as many as 900 breakfasts often with over 100 planes flying in. The "assembly line" style serving line developed by the pilots association moves the hungry masses through quickly and leaves plenty of time to watch the airplanes and visit with the ultralight pilots and RC pilots. Please join us anytime between 8:00 am and noon.
The 1st annual Wings, Wheels and Whatever event will take place on June 13th 2009 from 8AM to 5PM. Come see RC Cars/Planes, ultralights, airplanes, tractors (new and old), motorcycles (big and small), ATVs, airboats, cars of all sizes and kinds. RC demonstrations throughout the day. Great family outing. All Fossil Fuel Burning machines welcome. Free to display, $25 fee for vendors. Great inexpensive advertising opportunity. For more information or questions, send an email to Dan Cooper at kcooper@ptd.net or call (570)724-6773. More event details to be posted soon.
