May Also Win Money For Flight Training... Up To $5,000!
Students who sign up for the AOPA
Project Pilot program with a Mentor at the upcoming Lakeland Fly-In
will get into the show at no cost thanks to Sun ’n Fun and
the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA). AOPA is urging
all its members to share their love of flying, and help a new
student pilot get started with the support of AOPA Project
Pilot.
"What better way to get a prospective pilot hooked on aviation
than taking them to one of the first great air shows of the spring
flying season?" said AOPA President Phil Boyer. "As pilots, we have
a responsibility to share our love of flying with others. Sun 'n
Fun and AOPA Project Pilot are making it even easier to get
started.”
AOPA members are urged to bring a student or prospective pilot
to the show, and sign up for AOPA Project Pilot at the admission
gate. For every Mentor who signs up a prospective pilot, the
student will get into the show at no cost on the day they sign up.
That's a $30 value.
In addition, every student or prospective pilot who attends
Lakeland 2007 has a chance of winning up to $5,000 for flight
training. Each day, Tuesday, April 17 through Friday, April 20,
four future pilots will win $250 for flight training by getting
spotted wearing a red AOPA Project Pilot sticker (available at
AOPA’s Big Yellow Tent). On Friday's AOPA Day, one of those
individuals will randomly be chosen to win an additional $5,000 for
flight training.
To be eligible for prizes, the students and future pilots must
be over age 16. Prize money is paid directly to the flight school.
The free admission offer is available Tuesday through Friday, April
17-20. Limit one free student admission per current
pilot/mentor.
