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.
