I always look forward to this opportunity to share good times with fellow pilots. The annual event gives pilots and the local Frederick community a chance to meet AOPA staff and see what general aviation and AOPA are doing today. The event has grown larger and more successful each year, and is considered one of the premier aviation events in the East. Last year, more than 400 aircraft and 4,000 people attended. The AOPA Fly-In will offer something for everyone, whether an active pilot or just interested in flying.
Admission is free to all seminars, presentations and exhibits.
Humor and Learning with Rod Machado New at this year's Fly-In will be two presentations by AOPA Project Pilot National Flight Instructor Rod Machado. The well-known professional speaker has traveled the U.S. and Europe to put across his message of aviation safety and love of flying, spiced with a unique brand of humor. How to be a Good Cockpit Companion Intended for the non-pilot, this seminar will discuss how to help the pilot, including scanning for traffic, tuning radios, and chart reading. The latest information that every pilot should know to operate in today's busy airspace. AOPA offices will be open for visitors.
