The Theme Of ‘Grass Roots To The Top Of The World’ Captures The Goal Of The IAC
The International Aerobatic Club (IAC) has announced its theme for EAA AirVenture 2016 along with its plans for an exhibit during AirVenture. The 2016 theme will be "Grass Roots to the Top of the World" and the exhibit will provide an overview of IAC, aerobatics, and the menu of choices that are available to IAC members and enthusiasts for becoming involved in aerobatics.
IAC began in 1970 with the goal of promoting "grass roots" aerobatics, that is, to bring aerobatics to the local and regional areas through chapters and regional competitions. It has also provided guidance to those who wish to learn aerobatics to improve their pilot skills and to gain the self-confidence and ability to control their aircraft in all flight regimes. IAC has promoted various safety and awards programs, sponsors the US National Aerobatic Championships every year, and administers the US Aerobatic Teams in both power and glider.
The exhibit, which will be shown at the IAC Pavilion at AirVenture, will feature all of these aspects of aerobatics…from learning to fly aerobatics, becoming involved locally in chapters, and all the way up to US involvement in world competition. AirVenture will take place in Oshkosh, WI on July 25-31, 2016 and the IAC Pavilion will be open every day.
And, as we reported in an earlier AeroSports Update, the U.S. National Aerobatic Championships will be held at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh September 24-29, 2017.
