AOPA trades Fly-In for flying out
Just as pilots everywhere are beginning to plan their fly-out destinations for 2009, so is AOPA. This year the association will trade its annual one-day fly-in for a whole year of fly-outs—opportunities to bring AOPA and its staff to pilots and prospective pilots nationwide.
In keeping with AOPA’s “Let’s Go Flying” campaign to make general aviation widely accessible, the association will bring the excitement of GA flying to new venues throughout the year. AOPA has long had a strong presence at such major aviation events as Sun ‘n Fun in Lakeland, Fla., and EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis. But this year, you can also expect to see AOPA at new-for-us events like the Dayton Air Show and the Reno Air Races. You can even look for us at non-aviation events, like boat shows, motorcycle events, and more.
Although AOPA will not hold its fly-in this year, that doesn’t mean members shouldn’t plan a visit. Come to AOPA headquarters on any business day and see your association at work. Our offices, located right on Frederick Municipal Airport in Frederick, Md., make the perfect fly-out destination for 2009. Driving directions are available on AOPA Online.
