Good weather and a beautiful setting in Arizona at the Ernest A. Love Field in Prescott, where the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has one of two main campuses, became the perfect recipe for a record-breaking AOPA Fly-In this weekend. This was the final fly-in for the year, the third year AOPA has done its regional shows. AOPA increased the previous fly-in record by around 2,000 attendees, bringing about 6,300 people out to see airplanes on display along with terrific seminars, exhibitors and a miniature air show.
