Fly-in events are organized gatherings where pilots and aviation enthusiasts fly their aircraft to a specific airport or airstrip for social, recreational, or educational purposes. These events range from small, local weekend barbecues to large, multi-day, national gatherings, often featuring unique aircraft, camping, and fly-out activities.
Our chapter strives to have a Fly-in/Fly-out event each month.
