Sporty's Fly-In and Sweepstakes Day Set for Saturday, May 16

Sporty's Sweepstakes airplane winner will be selected on Saturday, May 16, during Sporty’s Annual Fly-In. The prize plane is a Sporty’s brand-new Cessna Skyhawk with Garmin's synthetic vision technology.

"We decided to incorporate our Sweepstakes drawing into our Fly-In to share with our customers the excitement of awarding a brand-new airplane," says Sporty's President Michael Wolf. "Of course, you don’t have to be present to win. We’ve had some funny reactions from our surprised and sometimes skeptical Sweepstakes winners in the past when we’ve called them."

Sporty's Fly-In is now in its fifth year. Its staff has invited industry exhibitors and planned seminars, tours, and other special events to make this a fun-filled day for anyone interested in aviation.

FAA safety seminars will be hosted by Garmin, Bendix/King, Aspen Avionics, Air Mod and more. There will also be a static display featuring new Cessna Aircraft, including the Cessna 350.

Sporty's representatives will be on hand to talk with attendees about various products and services offered by Sporty's including introductory flights and flight training at Eastern Cincinnati Aviation, the 2009 line of Cessna Single-Engine Aircraft, homes available at Sandy's Farm Residential Airpark, Aviation Exploring, Cincinnati Avionics, and the University of Cincinnati Professional Pilot Program.

The event will be held (rain or shine) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
