We have mentioned only the events in Apulia but the CMPR has taken part to events and manifestations in the whole national territory.
We dedicate ourselves moreover, with enthusiasm and completely free, to the younger ones organizing model courses for the boys attending classes between the “V elementare” (aged 10) and the “I media (aged 11)”. We already carried out with success courses at the Scuola Media Statale “Dante Alighieri” di Modugno, le Scuole Elementari Statali “M. Montessori” e “E. De Filippo” di Mola di Bari e la Scuola Media Statale "Michelangelo" di Bari.. During 2000 we accepted the invitation of the Cooperativa “Progetto Cittŕ” and we started during Summer months from June to September, model workshops in the most important Bari park, located in Largo 2 giugno There boys (and fathers) could try the fantastic experience of building flying models. We repeated the same activity during the 2003 edition of the Expo Levant Fair. This was made possibile with the help of the “Comando della Terza Regione Aerea.” At the Museo del Gioco, del Giocattolo e del Modellismo” can be admired models built by our members. The Museum is housed by the “Stadio della Vittoria” in Bari and at this site daily are been held many workshops.
The Bari section organizes many trips for the members and their families and for the friends of the association. We visited the Museo Storico dell’Aeronautica Militare at Vigna di Valle, the Pratica di Mare Air Base during the “Giornata dell’ala” to celebrate the 75th Anniversari of the Aeronautica Militare andduring "Giornata Azzurra" 2005, 2006 and 2008; and also the Amendola Air Base (FG) during the "Giornata Azzurra 2002".
We came back at Pratica di Mare on 30th May 2004 for the great happening "50 anni di F 104" to participate to the farewell party for the beloved "Spillone". At the “Ceraso“ di Altamura flight school it was be possible organize "the baptism of the air" for the most brave participants providing them the unforgettable experience of the flight on the ultralights of the School of Flight.
