Those who have ever thought about learning to fly can find out more on May 27 as EAA Chapter 1655 hosts a “Fly Now” informational program on learning to fly. Attendees will be registered for a free training flight sponsored by Hays Aircraft.
EAA Chapter 1655, a local organization that is part of the national Experimental Aircraft Association, is dedicated to growing participation in aviation by sharing the ways people can get started in this fun and fulfilling recreation. The program will be held from 5 to 6 p.m. Thursday, May 27, at Gella’s in downtown Hays.
Anyone interested in aviation is invited to attend. Local pilots will be on hand to discuss why and how they learned to fly. The meeting will also cover the steps and requirements in learning to fly, provide tips on how to make it economical, and will culminate with the free introductory flight drawing. If you think piloting your own plane might be fun, just wait till you get behind the stick!
The Hays Chapter of the EAA is one of the newest in the country and is one of approximately 900 chapters around the world, which provide activities for local aviation enthusiasts with a mission of growing participation in aviation by sharing “The Spirit of Aviation.” Chapter activities range from monthly meetings to airport open houses, fly-ins, educational programs, and special events that share aviation with the community and build a stronger bond between local aviation and the public.
