Event Calendar

FAA Safety TeamThe Flight Center hosts a variety of flying activities to meet your interests and schedules, including safety seminars and WINGS programs on a monthly basis. We are also sponsoring fly-out events to great destinations as often as possible. Call us for more details on these scheduled events or to book space, where applicable. Also, we welcome your suggestions for programs you'd like to hear or destinations you'd like to visit!

All “Flying After Hours” programs are free of charge and qualify as FAA “Wings” Safety Programs under the jurisdiction of the FAA Safety Team. Take advantage of the fly-outs to knock the dust off your flying skills; if the rust has gotten too thick, take your instructor along! 

Here's a list of our scheduled events for the next few months.

JULY

  • Saturday, July 24th through Thursday, July 29th - EAA AirVenture Oshkosh Flyout.
