Jim Sweeney, SweeneyCorp, NAPPF Board Member
One of the joys of flying is flying with others at fly-ins. The congestion at almost any fly-in means that organizers have rules, briefings, and procedures that should be followed during the event. The safety rules shouldn't discourage you from attending a fly-in and knowing what to expect ahead of time will actually make fly-ins more fun. Jim Sweeney goes over things you can expect to see at fly-ins that you wouldn't normally experience flying around the home patch. SweeneyCorp, NAPPF (4/3/07)
