Every September, Aviat Aircraft
invites the owners and prospective owners of Huskys, the Pup and
Pitts Specials to fly-in (or drive in) for a few days of aerial
competitions, hangar talk and some serious seminars on getting the
most utility and fun from their aircraft. This year the event, open
to all pilots, begins on Friday, September 5th and ends on
Sunday.
Attendees who arrive in an aircraft manufactured by Aviat will
receive free aircraft service and advice. Friday
evening, a casual dinner is planned at the factory along with
facility tours.
Beginning on Saturday morning, there will be a series of
lectures and discussions on subjects relevant to Husky and Pitts
owners. Following the classroom experiences, flying contests and
demo flights will be staged. On Sunday, following a continental
breakfast, the pilots will begin heading home.
"It's clearly a
relaxing weekend," said Aviat President Stu Horn. "Since we all
have the activity of the Aviat factory in common, it makes for a
receptive audience in sharing flying experiences. We try to
provide some practical informationŠthey embellish the
discussions with stories that are
sometimes harrowing, other times just a lot of fun. It's always
educational. By the time it ends, most people have made some new
friends and a lot of those relationships continue long after the
event."
You don't have to be an Aviat customer, just a good
person.
Anyone may attend the Aviat Aircraft Factory Fly-In. The cost
for the program, including all meals, is $40 per
person.
