Welcome to Columbia Aviation Association!

Summer is typically busy and this Summer of '26 is no exception. We've short and long flyouts. There are various types of entertainment at the Thursday night meetings.

We are all looking forward to our Open House in August. This year it will be easier to bring pilots in from other parts of the Northwest due to the fact that the runways at KUAO should be open!

If you are new to KUAO, drop in some Thursday evening and check us out!
