The AOPA Sweepstakes Piper Super

fire ring, camping equipment, and more.
The Sweepstakes Super Cub is a remarkable refurbishment of a 1954 Super Cub by
Baker Air Service, the Montana aviation
firm owned by Roger and Darin Meggers.

You Can Fly Cessna 152 and a California

and will feature a desktop simulator experience at AirVenture showing how easy
it is to stay proficient using inexpensive
desktop simulation. In addition, the AOPA
Air Safety Institute will offer opportunities to experience its "Safety Challenge" in
Redbird TD2 flight simulators.
Visitors can talk with AOPA staff about
topics such as insurance and aircraft financing, membership, and legal and medical
questions, as well as buy AOPA gear in the
AOPA tent. Check out the AOPA tent on the
