May 12, 2015: Fort Worth, TX: The Flying Musicians Association announces that once again members will be on the ramp at each AOPA Fly-In across the country beginning this Saturday at Salinas, CA (KSNS).
FMA encourages all pilot / musicians and friends to participate. “This is about outreach!” says John Zapp, CEO FMA. “We want all who have a love of music to join us as we liven up the ramp while inspiring, encouraging, educating and now assisting folks to grow through aviation and music. Just as a pilot certificate is a certificate to learn, being a musician requires constant learning, practicing and performing. The AOPA Fly-Ins are a wonderful way for members to reunite across the country.”
