2021 FLY-IN EVENTS
WELCOME TO THE CPA FLY-IN POST-COVID EDITION 2021!
This Colorado Pilots Association publication was introduced last year and
was immediately impacted by the onslaught of COVID. It was not a good
year for fly-ins. Our intent was to introduce more of the regional aviation
community to our fly-in program. This program originated a number of
years ago when a small group of CPA members met at a member’s home
to discuss the idea of group-flying to interesting destinations in the western
portion of the U.S. This meeting has grown to a much larger, (in a normal
year), annual gathering that we now consider one of CPA’s premier mem-
bership offerings, because our destinations vary so widely in geographic
scope; they are so remarkably interesting and fun; and because the aura
surrounding each event is almost magical, we have loads of fun!
Our adventures aren’t just about the shear joy of flying, but are also about the common bonds that
we as aviators enjoy. We’re social creatures, and combining great times with friends, who have
a common love of flying, is about as wonderful as this life can get. Why not take the time now, to
explore the pages of this booklet and see for yourself the exciting times that are in store this year?
Coming off the COVID headache, we have a minimal number of events, but they’re trips you don’t
want to miss. In a normal flying season we’re used to as many as eight or ten destinations. Those
good times will return.
We plan destinations both near and far to support those of all flying skills and with varying aircraft
capabilities. If you’re new to flying, many of these flights are of a distance that should be comfort-
able for you to start building that time and experience that we pilots all strive for. If you’ve been flying
for awhile and are getting stale flying within 50 miles of your home base, use this program to expand
your horizons and bring the joy of flying back into your life. Our members are engineers, doctors, land-
scapers, computer scientists, auto mechanics, ATC controllers, lawyers, educators and more. You’ll
make friends from all walks of life enjoying the common bond of aviation.
Enjoy this booklet outlining our unique events for this year.
To register for a specific fly-in, visit the CPA website at www.
coloradopilots.org. Announcements will be made under
“Fly-in Events” and in the “Calendar” section; emails will go
out to members; and an announcement will be posted in
the monthly edition of our newsletter FLIGHT LINES. You may
even find the information on our Facebook page. You’ll be
hard pressed to miss these announcement flyers! They will
offer the details that matter the most. . .times to arrive, FBO
info, specific scheduling info for events, happy hour plans,
hotel info, transportation info, and the cost for each fly-in. Generally speaking, the CPA charges
to cover the costs involved and makes no money on the event.
Give us a try. You won’t be disappointed! This is one of the most cordial groups of people you’ll
ever meet. We look forward to seeing you.
Note: If you’re a pilot from one of the surrounding states, we’d love to have you join us. Just
register on the website as the rest of our members do. That’s all that’s required. Yes, you can
save money by becoming a CPA member. Join now by visiting the following page of this booklet.
Happy flying!
