First Fly-In at San Marcos
Texas hosts first regional fly-in April 26
AOPA'S FIRST-EVER regional fly-in will be held at
the San Marcos Municipal Airport (HYI) from
8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., April 26, 2014. An exciting
and action-packed day of fun, friends, food, and
flying awaits AOPA members, pilots, and aviation
enthusiasts at this great Texas airfield.
Known in the 1940s as Gary Air Force Base,
where military pilots trained for World War II,
San Marcos Municipal Airport still exudes a culture of military aviation with the Commemorative
Air Force's Cen Tex Wing and museum located on
the field. These fascinating aircraft will be joined
by a host of static display and demonstration aircraft at the AOPA Fly-In. Come check out aircraft
of every era-from vintage airplanes to the manufacturer's newest models. Included in the aircraft
displays and demonstrations, the Experimental
Aircraft Association's B-17 Aluminum Overcast
will be on site all weekend offering rides. Take
advantage of the opportunity to tour one of World
War II's most ubiquitous warriors.
Attendees will enjoy two great meals-a pancake breakfast will accompany a pilot town hall

with AOPA President Mark Baker, and a barbeque lunch will be prepared by one of San
Marcos' best local restaurants.
Some of aviation's leading speakers will be
on hand to share their knowledge in seminars
covering safety, maintenance, and technology. Bruce Landsberg, Rod Machado, Adrian
Eichhorn, and John Zimmerman will be with us
in San Marcos. Spend the rest the day exploring
exhibits, visiting with AOPA leaders, and getting
to know fellow aviators.
Complete details including seminar topics,
invited guests, entertainment, exhibitors, and a
schedule of events can be found on the website
(www.aopa.org/fly-ins), which is being updated
daily as information is available.
