There are few things more rewarding than trading stories and sharing experiences with people who really understand. So there’s nothing like getting together with your fellow aviators at the events that bring the flying community together.
Summer is drawing to a close, but you still have a chance to enjoy the company of other pilots while you take in the latest innovations in aircraft and avionics, enhance your safety and build knowledge through a wide range of seminars, and get caught up with the people and ideas that are changing the way we fly.
You can do all that and more at AOPA’s Aviation Summit, set for September 22 through 24 in Hartford, Connecticut.
Hartford is a wonderful host city and the officials at the Hartford-Brainard Airport (KHFD), where AOPA’s Airportfest is held, are terrific and dedicated partners. All our visitors will have an exceptional experience.
You can shop for anything and everything aviation in the exhibit hall. Whether you are looking for a new airplane or a new headset; a new WAAS unit or a new flight bag, you’ll find the very best the industry has to offer right here.
And, no matter how many hours you have in the left seat, you’ll have opportunities to learn something new with dozens of seminars covering topics as diverse as health and legal issues, fly-in destinations, regulatory compliance, IFR safety, and decision making.
At the airport you’ll get up close to remarkable aircraft—old, new, and up-and-coming.
And don’t forget the social events, from a special aviation movie night to live music to dine arounds that give you the chance to talk face-to-face with aviation celebrities. Spending time reconnecting with old friends or meeting new ones is half the fun.
