A lot of
work goes into setting up the monthly fly-ins. It can be
discouraging when only the few regulars show up each
time. Please, check the
fly-in schedule on the
Northeast Tribe's website
and try to attend those in your neighborhood.
Below is
a general description of each 2023
fly-in location,
along with other flying events of
interest
listed in red. Click on the
airport identifier for a link to an
AOPA Airports page for further information.
As usual, rain dates are listed in parentheses.
