LAA LAUNCHES 75th ANNIVERSARY FLY-IT DAY. Tuesday 26th October.

JUST GET IN YOUR AIRCRAFT AND FLY!

Tuesday 26th October 1946 was the date of the meeting which inaugurated the Ultra-Light Aircraft Association, which subsequently became the LAA.

This year, on Tuesday 26th October 2021, we want to mark the 75th Anniversary with a day upon which as many pilots, members or not, simply to get out their aircraft and fly. It doesn’t matter whether this is a permit aircraft, a club Cessna or Piper, a microlight or a warbird. Whether you own or rent, we want flyers (and their friends) to take to the air to celebrate our anniversary.

Among the initiatives we are planning are:

FLY A FRIEND. Have you a spare seat? Why not invite a friend or neighbour to enjoy a first experience of light aircraft flying? If you want we will send you a briefing guide.

FLY IN TO TURWESTON. We’ll host an LAA HQ Open House on 26th October. We’ll stand the landing fees and refreshments at LAA HQ!

PHOTOGRAPH YOUR FLIGHT. We’ll create an LAA 75 Birthday Album. Send us your pictures and we’ll post them on our Facebook page, website and in the LAA magazine!

COMMEMORATIVE LOG BOOK STICKER. Send us the information about your flight and your address, we’ll send you a suitable memento!

TELL US ABOUT YOUR SPECIAL FLIGHT. Send us a photo, video or brief notes about your fly-it day. There’ll be a special award for the best one!

WHAT ELSE? We’re still planning. Have you an idea we can use? Drop us a line to [email protected]!

FLY-IT SUNDAY
In recognition that many members have ‘day jobs’ and as a bad weather fall-back (well it will be the British autumn) we’ll also have a second fly-it day on Sunday 31st October. Or, you could use it for a second day’s flying!!
