Props and Pistons Festival

Fulton Akron Airport (KAKR) Akron, OH

August 15-17, 2025

AOPA is coming to the Buckeye State, the birthplace of Aviation! AOPA is teaming up with Inspire Aviation to bring an AOPA Fly-In to the Props and Pistons Festival. Plan on adding this Festival to your summer plans. Join us for a Fly-In event that will feature educational seminars, exhibits, displays, air shows and even camping.

The Airshow performances will fill your aviation desire and the “Cruise In” will fill that need for classic cars, custom bikes and historic military vehicles…all in one festival!

Akron Fulton Airport opened in 1929 and for a while was designated a U.S. military base. During WWII Goodyear Aircraft constructed more than 4,000 Corsairs here. The Goodyear Airdock was also created in 1929 as a space where blimps, airships and dirigibles could be constructed.

Visit our Exhibit Hall and our Static Display to see, touch and experience the newest tech, gear and services you need to make your next flight safer and more efficient. The industry’s leading manufacturers and suppliers will be there to talk with you about what’s new and what the future holds.

Visit one of our two seminar venues to hear from leading experts in the aviation industry and enhance your aviation safety knowledge. Attend engaging seminars presented by the AOPA Air Safety Institute and industry partners like ForeFlight, California Aeronautical University, and SiriusXM.

Exhibitor Registration Coming Soon!
