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 Win a Six in '06 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 their popular and informative seminars Single-Pilot IFR, Do The Right Thing: Decision Making for Pilots, Emergency Procedures, and The Last Five Miles.
