Fly-in

A fly-in is a pre-arranged gathering of aircraft, pilots and passengers for recreational and social purposes.

Fly-ins may be formally or informally organised, members of the public may or may not be invited, the gathering may be at an airport or in a farmer's field.

Fly-ins can be aimed at specific aircraft classes, such as taildraggers, warbirds, experimental aircraft or specific aircraft models. They may be organized by a national organization, such as the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association or the Experimental Aircraft Association, the airport owner or authority, a flying club, an aircraft type club or by a group of friends meeting perhaps for a barbecue and to socialize.

The term "fly-in" is not formally defined in the aviation legislation of many countries and it may refer to a range of events, while in others it has a specific legal meaning. For example in Canada fly-ins may not legally include air displays or competitive flying.

History

The first fly-in was the Grande Semaine d'Aviation (English: Grand Week of Aviation) held in Reims, France between 22–29 August 1909. The event attracted some of the world's foremost pilots of the day, including Louis Blériot, Henry Farman, Léon Delagrange, Hubert Latham, Charles de Lambert, Louis Paulhan, Roger Sommer, Claude Grahame-White and one American, Glenn Curtiss. The event was primarily a competition for record setting. Curtis set a speed record of 80 km/h (43 kn) flying a biplane he had designed, winning the first race for Gordon Bennett Coupe Internationale d'Aviation. Henry Farman set a distance record of 180 km (97 nmi) in just over three hours. Hubert Latham won the altitude contest by attaining 155 m (509 ft). The event attracted large crowds of spectators including 3,000 from the United Kingdom and 2,000 from the United States.

Flyin'

by: Regina Spektor

I went flyin' out of my window,
I went flyin' out of my window.
Been caught doin' it once or twice,
But it feels so real nice.
Oh, it feels so real nice.
Saw the earth and I saw the sky,
Saw the earth and I saw the sky.
Been caught doin' it once or twigh,
But it feels so real nigh -
Oh it feels so real nigh,
Oh it feels so real nigh.
Went to school with them boring teachers,
Who thought they was all my preachers,
So I went starin' out of my window,
I went starin' out of my window.
Been caught doin' it once or twice,
But it feels so real nice.
Oh it feels so real nice,
Oh it feels so real nice, that I might even do it again.
One of them took me with him to sleep,
Said not to make a peep,
Said it'll be a secret we keep,
So I didn't make a peep.
Kissed my cheek and rubbed my feet,
But his kissin' didn't taste so sweet.
Told him I just wanted to sleep,
So he got mad.
And he got madder, and he got maddest of them all.
Sent me flyin' out of his window,
Sent me flyin' out of his window.
Not caught once, not caught twice.
And I've been flyin' ever since,
And I've been flyin' in the skies.
And I’ve been flyin’ ever since,
And I’ve been flyin’ in the sky.
And I’ve been flyin’ ever since,
And I’ve been flyin’ in the sky.
And I’ve been flyin’ ever since,
And I’ve been flyin’ in the sky.
And I’ve been flyin’ ever since,
And I’ve been flyin’ in the sky.
And I’ve been flyin’ ever since,
And I’ve been flyin’ in the sky.
And I’ve been flyin’ ever since,
And I’ve been flyin’ in the sky.
(Flyin’ in the sky.)
And I’ve been flyin’ ever since,
And I’ve been flyin’ in the sky.
(Flyin’ in the sky.)
And I’ve been flyin’ ever since,
And I’ve been flyin’ in the sky.
(Flyin’ in the sky.)
And I’ve been flyin’ ever since,
And I’ve been flyin’ in the sky.
(Flyin’ in the sky.)
