Fly-in

Fly-in

A fly-in is an organized event where pilots are invited to fly their aircraft to rendezvous at an airport to meet with fellow pilots and members of the public. cite web|url = http://www.tc.gc.ca/CivilAviation/secretariat/terminology/glossary/f.htm|title = Glossary for Pilots and Air Traffic Services Personnel |accessdate = 2008-09-21|last = Transport Canada|authorlink = |year = 2008|month = August] cite web|url = http://www.tc.gc.ca/CivilAviation/Regserv/Affairs/cars/PART6/Standards/623d1.htm|title = Canadian Aviation Regulations Part VI - General Operating and Flight Rules Standard 623 - Special Flight Operations |accessdate = 2008-09-21|last = Transport Canada|authorlink = |year = 2006|month = June]

Fly-ins can be aimed at specific aircraft classes, such as taildraggers, warbirds, experimental aircraft or specific aircraft models. They may be organized by a national organization, such as the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association or the Experimental Aircraft Association, the airport owner or authority, a flying club or by an aircraft type club.

By definition fly-ins do not include air displays or competitive flying, but are are sometimes combined with other events, such as an air show or car show, where the fly-in aircraft crews will arrive to watch the other event.
