Key Takeaways:

AOPA is replacing its annual Aviation Summit convention with a series of six regional, one-day Fly-Ins held across the U.S. in 2014.
The future of the AOPA Aviation Summit will depend on the attendance numbers at these new regional events.
The annual "AOPA Homecoming" fly-in at their Frederick, MD headquarters will be reinstated on October 4th, celebrating AOPA's 75th anniversary.
Both the regional Fly-Ins and the Homecoming will feature activities such as exhibits, static aircraft displays, safety clinics, a pancake breakfast, a pilot town hall with AOPA President Mark Baker, and free lunch for members.

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association has announced the dates and locations for the regional AOPA Fly-Ins that will replace the organization’s annual AOPA Aviation Summit convention. This year, the one-day events will be held on Saturdays at each of the following locations:

April 26 – San Marcos Municipal Airport, Texas (HYI)
May 31 – Indianapolis Regional Airport, Indiana (MQJ)
July 12 – Plymouth Airport, Massachusetts (PYM)
August 16 – Spokane Felts Field, Washington (SFF)
September 20 – Chino Airport, California (CNO)
November 8 – Malcolm McKinnon Airport, Georgia (SSI)

At a town hall meeting at AOPA’s Airportfest, the outdoor aircraft display that ran concurrently with the AOPA Aviation Summit in Fort Worth, Texas, in October, AOPA executives said the Summit will be reinstated unless thousands of members attend the regional events.
