The Colorado Pilots Association presents the RMLSAExpo as both a flyin and an opportunity to interest the general public in flying.
Yes, the highlight will be LSAs, E-LSAs, ultralights & weight-shift, but it's a great opportunity for a flyin, too!
FTG sits in a SE corner of Denver International (DEN) Class B but it really is easy and no reason to stay away.
We'll have details on the website but quite simply, either be on flight following or call 30 nm out to Denver Approach and they'll bring you in without any problems (Mode C veil).
FTG has 2 8000 ft runways in an L shape so unless the weather is horrendously windy, there's always easy landing.
Discount fuel for those flying in (right now, FTG and APA have the cheapest fuel in the state!)
Hangar space available if weather turns into hail so don't worry about that, either.
