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 Albany (KALB), Burlington (KBTV), Rome (KRME), Wheeler-Sack AAF (KGTB), and Syracuse (KSYR) airports. We're taking the pancake fly-in to the next level by staffing a whole block of maple syrup country in our rendition of the local pancake fly-in. We'll have a hot pot of coffee and tall stack waiting for you to arrive!
