Fly-In Safety
Oshkosh 2005

If you're planning on going to Oshkosh, don't forget to visit AOPA's big, yellow tent. Our highly skilled staff will be there to answer any aviation-related question you might have, and the AOPA 2005 Commander Countdown Sweepstakes airplane will be parked in front of the tent with the editors of AOPA Pilot magazine on hand to tell you everything about it. The AOPA Air Safety Foundation will present seminars on topics such as Single-Pilot IFR, Weather Wise, Maneuvering Flight, and GPS. For a complete schedule, view our special page. To make the planning process easier, we have also compiled this helpful list of resources for you.
