For many pilots, nothing compares to spending a Saturday at the airport, at a fly-in, or simply swapping flying stories with other pilots over breakfast. This weekend the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association – better known as AOPA, kicks off the first of a series of regional fly-in events. San Marcos, Texas (KHYI) will be the first to host hundreds of airplanes tomorrow as part of AOPA’s new town hall-style fly-in series. To show our support and mingle among aviation enthusiasts alike, Garmin will be there! 

In conjunction with the fly-in, AOPA is also celebrating 75 years as an organization, which has been dedicated to protecting general aviation. Since 1939, they have represented pilots and aircraft owners in order to keep aviation safe, fun, and affordable. Without AOPA, general aviation wouldn’t be where it is today and pilots would not enjoy many of the freedoms brought on by flying. 

This weekend, Garmin is excited to celebrate along with AOPA at the first regional fly-in of the year in San Marcos. The weather looks great and we’ll be there tomorrow to answer questions, share flying stories and of course, show off some of our new products.

Congratulations AOPA and “thank you” from all of us at Garmin!
