Come And Join The Fun Down South
Ever wanted to fly to
the Louisiana Bayou? Well, we have a great excuse o do just that
throughout the year. After the success of last year's
Centennial of Flight Fly-in Series throughout their state, several
Louisiana EAA Chapters have decided to hold another fly-in series
in 2004. The series of 11 events will begin on March 20th at the

Activities at Each Fly-in:
While these events are being organized and sponsored by individual
EAA chapters, the organizers encore participation from every
aviation organization involved in state affairs, including the FAA,
99's, CAP, Military, Ag Operators, Louisiana DOTD, Flight Schools,
Commercial Operators, IAC, etc. Most fly-ins will have Young Eagles
flights.
Fly-in Series Prizes:
The event organizers
also want to encourage participation by every aircraft in the
state. To help provide that encouragement, they are requesting
prizes from aviation-related and other companies to present to
series participants. Please contact the Series Coordinator if you
wish to be a 2004 Sponsor.
The organizers' goals are to raise aviation awareness of the
general public and increase aviation activity, which of course are
both beneficial to all of us involved in aviation. Last year's
fly-in series was very successful and exceeded everyone's
expectations and this year event promises to be better than
ever.
