Whether you arrive in a Cub, Cessna, Cirrus, Bonanza, RV, Mooney, homebuilt, or helicopter, every aircraft helps create an unforgettable experience for children with autism and developmental disabilities.
This isn't just another fly-in. It's a fly-in with a purpose. Our goal: 50 aircraft. Let's fill the ramp.
Why your airplane matters
For many children attending, this will be the first time they've stood beside a real airplane. The first time they've climbed into a cockpit. The first time they've met a pilot. For some, it will be their very first flight. To us, it's another Saturday at the airport. To these families, it's a memory they'll carry with them forever.
Option 1 · Static Display
Fly in and display your aircraft. Talk with families, let children sit inside (if you choose), share the story behind your plane. No pressure to give rides.
Option 2 · Discovery Flight Pilot
Volunteer your aircraft for short 15–20 minute pre-coordinated discovery flights, organized with Holiday Airways and the Challenge Air operations team.
