Hmm, you know, I'm beginning to think we have it pretty good here in Canada. The focus of our own COPA organization sits squarely in what I'll call Personal Aviation. Not so much General Aviation - which can often mean twin-sized aircraft and bigger. COPA is much smaller and really only has three guys doing pretty much everything. However, they do have four full-time secretaries - and those girls do a lot of stuff!

Our monthly COPA newspaper always has a big section on ultra-lights and two-seater home-builts as over 30% of the readers are there.

The only reason I know any of this, is that I turned down a web design position with them last year. I got a ton of push-back from my wife when I said I was thinking about taking the COPA position up in Ottawa (2-hour drive from home).
