<strong>What's a Fly-In?</strong>

Similar to a car show, aircraft fly in to be judged, while spectators get to see a gathering of amateur built, antique and other unique aircraft -- and meet their pilots, builders, and restorers!  Expected highlights include the Chile Flight (formation flying team), helicopters, gliders, ultralights, and static displays of remote controlled aircraft.<a id="WhatToDo"></a>

<ul>
 	<li>Come early to see aircraft as they arrive and catch the 8AM Opening Ceremony and flag raising</li>
 	<li>Browse the Exhibit Hall with aviation businesses, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations.</li>
 	<li>Learn about aviation education, careers, technology,  in the Exhibit Hall and attending SEMINARS!</li>
 	<li>Enjoy  breakfast and lunch on site!</li>
 	<li>Try riveting at the Builders’ Corner!  3D Printing!  Talk to builders!</li>
 	<li>Engage the kids in the Youth Aviators Center</li>
 	<li>PILOTS!  Attend SEMINARS about flying New Mexico; earn WINGS credits!</li>
 	<li>Shop at EAA 179′s Fly Mart and buy used aviation treasures</li>
