Sporty’s Fly-In

Seminars and Exhibits Await Thousands of Pilots

May 15, 2010, will be a big day at the Clermont County/Sporty’s Airport. Not only is it Sporty’s Annual Fly-In, but it’s also the celebration of International Learn to Fly Day.

“We’re challenging pilots to come to our Fly-In and bring at least one friend who may be interested in flying,” says Sporty’s President Michael Wolf. “We’ll have a full complement of flight instructors on hand to brief potential pilots and give an on-the-spot introductory flight.”

Sporty’s Sweepstakes airplane, a 2010 Cessna Skycatcher with Garmin's G300 avionics package, will be awarded at Noon. One lucky Sporty’s customer will end the day as the owner of this brand-new airplane.

Sporty’s Fly-In is now in its sixth year and, in addition to the excitement of the Sweepstakes drawing, Sporty’s staff has invited industry exhibitors and has planned seminars, tours and other special events to make this a fun-filled day for anyone interested in aviation.

Flying magazine’s Lane Wallace will hold a book reading and signing of her recently published book Unforgettable: My Ten Best Flights. FAA safety seminars will be hosted by Garmin, Bendix/King, Aspen Avionics, Air Mod and more.

“As always, the entire day is free – even the lunch,” adds Wolf. “We’ll be serving up hundreds of free hot dogs to attendees.”

Exhibitors include Cessna Aircraft, Aspen Avionics, Garmin, Bose, Lightspeed, SkyOx, L3, Sigtronics and others. Representatives will be on hand to demonstrate their products and answer questions. There will also be a static display featuring new Cessna Aircraft, including the Cessna 350. Please see below for a complete list of exhibitors.

Sporty's representatives will be on hand to talk with attendees about various products and services offered by Sporty's including flight training at Sporty’s Academy, the 2010 line of Cessna Single-Engine Aircraft, homes available at Sandy's Airpark, Aviation Exploring, Cincinnati Avionics and the University of Cincinnati Professional Pilot Program.

The event will be held rain or shine from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
