The annual Fly-In/Picnic is a little different this year. First, we are changing the day from a
Tuesday to a Saturday. Secondly, the location is changing from the Indy Executive Airport
to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Airport (KUMP). This years event is also being catered
with an expanded food selection so an exact head count will be
needed and reservations will be required.
We are coordinating our picnic with the arrival of the B-17 Yankee
Lady (weather permitting) so come and help the club host the crew
and schedule a flight with her for Tom Wood Aviation Community
Day on Sunday.
The Fly-In/Picnic is not just for members and we invite anyone to Fly in, Drive in, or Walk
in to this fun and tasty event.

Indianapolis Aero Club Annual Fly-In/Picnic

Our August Meeting
Dinner prepared by: Dessert prepared by:
Third-Class Medical Reform a Reality
President Barack Obama on July 15 signed third class medical reforms into
law as part of an FAA authorization extension passed by the House and
Senate days earlier. The Indianapolis Aero Club along with most general
aviation related organizations have endorsed the push for medical reform
as a much needed change. Our own United State Representative from
Indiana, Todd Rokita (also a pilot and aircraft owner), has been instrumen-
tal in drafting this legislation and helping push it through the House and
Senate. The Indianapolis Aero Club has provided letters of support for this legislation to
Mr. Rokita and other key legislators. Representative Rokita has graciously accepted our
invitation to come and discuss this and other issues affecting general aviation. We are
working with his staff to procure a mutually acceptable date.

get ready! I have just reviewed the beta version of this exciting
addition to our website. This mobile app will be available for

number of robust functionalities that you can easily use to find
