Event In Casa Grande, AZ Coming October 22-24
Since its first event in 1973, the Copperstate Fly-In has been
bringing together aviation enthusiasts in the southwest United
States. The 2009 event, to be held in Casa Grande, AZ from
Thursday, October 22 through Saturday, October 24 will be no
exception.
Over 50 commercial exhibitors will showcase the latest aviation
products. Over 350 aircraft, including more than 200 show-planes
vying for awards, will be on display. The Copperstate Fly-In is
recreational aviation at its best-powered parachutes, ultralights,
light sport, experimental, certified, classic, vintage and
warbirds. Aircraft demonstration flights and helicopter rides will
take place daily.
Over 70 educational forums are planned along with continuously
running workshops providing instruction in basic aircraft
construction techniques. Launched in 2008, the Copperstate "Front
Porch" program will again provide experts in a variety of aviation
fields to discuss aviation topics with fly-in attendees in
one-on-one question and answer sessions.
Annually, Copperstate provides multiple scholarships for youth
to attend the EAA Air Academy in Oshkosh, WI.
The 2009 Copperstate Fly-In will again host the Fuelventure 400
-- a competition for the most fuel efficient light aircraft on the
planet. The purpose of Fuelventure 400 is to motivate continuous
improvements in aviation efficiency through competition. Gross
weight of the aircraft before and after flying a predetermined
course will determine fuel usage and miles per gallon.
