[11 Dec 2023 07pm-10pm ET] Fly-in: Across State Lines Fly-in!

[Administrator]

Set the parking brake on the airliner and knock the cobwebs off your favorite general aviation aircraft! The General Aviation Fly-In visits locales across the country that are famous for their scenery and general aviation influence. While anything from a single-engine Cessna to a regional jet is welcome in this event, ‘low and slow’ offers the best opportunity to experience the scenery.

During the event, local air traffic control is staffed at smaller Class C and D airports, with overlying radar controllers to provide VFR Flight Following and IFR services. Fly VFR closed traffic, practice instrument approaches, or fly VFR or IFR between the featured airports: the choice is yours.

This week's event features Norwood (KOWD), New Bedford (KEWB), and Providence (KPVD). We are bringing back a pair of airports circa 2016 snaking our way down Bristol County into Rhode Island. Feel free to join from some nearby airports too like 1B9, KTAN, KSFZ and KUUU.

Event Date: Monday, December 11th
Event Time: 1900-2200 ET {0000-0300z}

It’s also a great time to try out one of our WINGS flights. Remember, many of the flights have published Alternate Airports, allowing you to earn your BVA pilot ratings at event airports!

Never thought I'd see the day that all my home airports would be featured in an event. Can't wait for this one!
