Illinois Promotes 2014 Fly Your Plane to Work Day

Illinois has found that many of their newsletter readers are fortunate to work at a location that allows them to fly to work. Flying your aircraft to work does provide an opportunity to introduce your non-pilot co-workers to the wonderful world of aviation. With that in mind, the Illinois Division of Aeronautics is initiating a ‘Fly Your Plane to Work Day’ to be held September 26.

The Division is encouraging those who can, to fly their aircraft to work and to take a few minutes to show their aircraft to fellow workers, and talk to them about how much you enjoy flying.

If you participate, the Division of Aeronautics would love to read your stories, or you can just tell them about your flight. Send to dot.aero@illinois.gov.
