Tampa Bay Prepares for AOPA
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) will return to Tampa, November 5-7 for the 2009 Aviation Summit. The Summit includes an educational program with informative speakers from both the private and public sector and forums featuring the most current aviation topics. Organizers say, "AOPA's annual convention has undergone an exciting transformation to the all-new AOPA Aviation Summit. The Summit will feature new experiences, events, education, and opportunities to touch, test, and interact with the people and technology that's relevant to the way you fly or to help you realize your dream of learning to fly." A highlight of the AOPA summit will be Airportfest! Airportfest will take place at Peter O. Knight Airport on Davis Islands and will offer non-stop activities for the entire family. From RC aircraft to helicopters, balloon launches to parachuting, and seaplanes to simulators—there really will be something for everyone with a love of aviation. For more
