INTERNATIONAL LEARN TO FLY DAY SET FOR JUNE 2 AT FREDERICK MUNICIPAL AIRPORT

Teaming with Maryland’s Frederick Municipal Airport, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA)  is set to host International Learn to Fly Day on Saturday, June 2.  The event, part of a worldwide effort, will include a free day-long event designed to introduce the local community to general aviation.

From 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m., AOPA will offer free familiarization flights for attendees ages 8 and up (on a first-come, first-served basis), a static aircraft display, and aviation activities for everyone to enjoy.
 
Brittney Miculka, AOPA’s Manager of Prospective Pilot and Youth Outreach noted that for many people, learning to fly is a dream, but they’re not sure what it takes or how to get started. Through generous participation by Frederick-area pilots, folks will have the opportunity to take a free flight which will help them decide if they’re interested in pursuing flight training.
 
AOPA will also offer special introductory flights to members of the media who enroll in advance.
