✈️ US Forest Service Fly-In / Drive-In
Fun Aviation Community Opportunity!
Fly North Aviation’s May Saturday Seminar with Reed Schatz from the U.S. Forest Service, is organizing a special Fly-In / Drive-In visit to the U.S. Forest Service Air Base in Redmond on Saturday, June 20.
If you attended the seminar, this is a great opportunity to see the operation in person and get a behind-the-scenes look at the aircraft, facilities, and mission support that make aerial firefighting and smokejumper operations possible.
This is shaping up to be a very unique experience and a chance to connect what we learned in the seminar with real-world operations.
If you have your own plane and want to participate, you are absolutely welcome!
Feel free to share with friends, students, pilots, and aviation enthusiasts who may be interested.
We hope to see you there!
