Vans Aircraft Day, June 11th
And Gyroplanes Too!
Please join Chesapeake Sport Pilot and our friends from the Vans Aircraft factory for our first, hopefully annual, Vans Aircraft Fly-In and Sales Day! We will have owners and builders of Vans Aircraft flying in from across the region! Adding to the excitement , we will have on hand not only the super popular Vans RV-12 LSA but also the much talked about but seldom seen new RV-14! Whether you are looking for a docile trainer that doesn't require e medical or the new super fast and super sporty queen of the fleet, We'll have a VANs RV that meets your needs on hand for you!
Adding to the excitement, our friends from AutoGyro USA be joining us for the day of aircraft sales and education. Expect to enjoy seeing and learning about the many models of gyroplanes offered by this leading manufacturer.
Yes! The RV-14 will be here!
Introductory Flight available for the RV-12!
Own an RV for Free!
Yes, Vans, Chesapeake Sport Pilot (your local RV-12 SLSA dealer) and AutoGyro USA would all love to help you get into aircraft ownership and will have representatives on hand to discuss all of your options with you. Perhaps the most exciting option for many considering the RV-12 is leaseback with Chesapeake Sport Pilot. A leaseback arrangement allows your plane to make money for you when you are not flying it and also take away all of the hassles of aircraft management. With its low operating costs, docile handling and great flexibility of customer size and shape, the RV-12 is one of the best option on the market for profitable leaseback.
Chesapeake Sport Pilot will have representatives and current leaseback owners on hand to discuss this exciting option with you.
Introductory Flights
As a special added bonus, introductory flights in both the RV-12 SLSA and the Calidus Gyroplane will be offered throughout the day. This is the perfect opportunity to "try before you by" or just get some stick-time to see what everyone else is talking about.
Introductory flights are $99, run from 9am to 4pm and are first-come-first-served.
