The plane facts: Cathay Pacific has launched an 'I Can Fly' programme in which, over the coming year, 1,000 youngsters (aged 13 to 18) will get an opportunity to learn about basic aviation, take part in one of seven charity events, and visit Cathay City (Cathay Pacific's corporate headquarters), the facilities of the Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company and Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals, the Government Flying Service base and Air Traffic Control. About 500 who perform exceptionally well will then be able to try their hand at model plane flying, orienteering training and flight simulators, as well as visit an aircraft plant in France or the United States, or a flying school in Australia.
