“Our number one goal with this program is to get folks out flying!” said Stephen Newman, ForeFlight’s executive vice president of global sales and marketing. “The flying season has already started across the south, and the ForeFlight Fly-Out will provide a fun, educational, socially distanced opportunity for people to fly and help support local economies and small airports/FBOs.”

 “AOPA is excited to partner with ForeFlight to reward pilots who support their local communities,” said Jiri Marousek, AOPA senior vice president of marketing. “Our shared mission is to encourage more pilots to fly more often and to more places. We’re happy to team with ForeFlight to encourage pilots to visit some outstanding airports and show support for the aviation community, and the local communities in the surrounding areas.”
