The agenda for the upcoming fly-in will contain various speakers to include an Aviation Medical Examiner (AME), who will discuss the upcoming changes to the third class medical, as well as an avionics installer to discuss options for complying with the upcoming ADS-B requirement.

There will also be static displays of various single and twin engine aircraft. The event is designed to be a good time for pilots as well as anyone interested in aviation.

Southeast AviatorsSEA has partnered with The Mentoring and Leadership Development Institute (TMALDI) to provide food for the event. TMALDI is an organization dedicated to helping boys from homes headed by single mothers develop into confident productive young men.

Attendance for the event is free of charge. All funds raised from the sale of food will go to support TMALDI.
