Chapter fly-outs are scheduled as desired by the membership but happen about once every other month. We fly to destinations with something to see and do instead of just to a restaurant, typically a ½ day or all day event. Fly-outs are semi-structured to match empty airplane seats with people who would like to attend and provide guidelines on cost of gas sharing and expectations.
"With COVID, check with sponsor to confirm schedule."
