Flight Training - July 2011 - 12
PREFLIGHT»
This weekend
Places to go, people to see, stuff to...eat!
S
ometimes you just have to get out of the local traffic pattern. So make your next trip an adventure and use the airplane for a fun trip to an airport close to you, either by yourself for a confidence-building solo, or with an instructor as a great cross-country training adventure.

They don’t do pancake breakfasts much bigger or better than the annual Fourth of July pancake breakfast in Penn Yan. All the locals, and many regional pilots, come out to celebrate and support the local flying club.
PEO
With a name like the Forty-third Annual Cracker Fly-In, it has to be good. The July 9 festival will feature more than 150 airplanes, including military and historical. There is aircraft judging, classic cars, rides, pancakes, and lunch.
GVL
There’s no better way to enjoy a day than going to an airshow. Check out the DFW Summer Balloon Classic and AirFest July 22 through 24 for a full lineup of balloon launches, aerobatics, display aircraft, food vendors, and more. The best part? Admission is free.
JWY
Small and remote Ely is hosting the Ely Airport Appreciation Day and Open House on July 9. The open house will include static displays, warbird flights, shuttles to the local railroad museum and hotels, and introductory flights for nonpilots.
ELY
Aviation bliss may just be possible on July 30 for the Tillamook Northwest Classic. The event combines a fly-in with an aviation museum open house, classic cars and motorcycles, a beer and wine garden for passengers, a pancake breakfast, and more for just $5.
