Tapanee Aviation, Mont-Laurier

The Association of Pilots and Aircraft Owners, accompanied by the mayor of Mont-Laurier, Mr. Daniel Bourdon, recently visited the Tapanee Aviation facilities in Mont-St Michel. In the photo on the left, we see a Leviation 4 manufactured by Tapanee Aviation. 

The company was recently purchased by Mr. Joey Langevin who will assume the continuity of the company of Mr. Michel Lequin (founder) for the manufacturing of the Levitation aircraft. Mr. Langevin has great plans for this company and wishes to establish himself at Mont-Laurier airport in the near future in order to expand.
