Texada Annual Fly-In

The Texada Annual Fly-In starts with a traditional pancake breakfast, followed by a BBQ lunch, contests, car, plane and bike show and shine, flight demonstrations, skydivers and just plain old fun….all day. 

The plane talk and contests are always fun. Join us on an island with no cougars, bears or wolves, lots of ripe blackberries and tons of friendly people!

Texada Island is just off the Sunshine Coast across from Powell River. Automobile traffic can take the BC Ferry from Westview Terminal in Powell River to Blubber Bay on Texada. The airport is (CYGB). Texada Airport boasts of a 3000 ft. asphalt runway and a campground where many aviation minded people gather every year to celebrate flight during Aviation Week.

The AirBuzz flight simulator is a major attraction. Patrons can fly the simulator for a donation, browse through the library, displays and view the art.
