To take part in the fly-out, land at these airports and go inside the participating FBO or business. ForeFlight has a content pack in its electronic flight bag that you can download. Each location will have a “Trip Kit” with services and local amenities listed to help you plan activities at the destination. Once you land at a designated airport, let the folks at the front desk know you are participating in the fly-out to get free ForeFlight swag.
Three winners will be chosen each month to get a free one-year Performance Plus subscription to ForeFlight as well as a swag bag. On August 1, one winner will receive the grand prize: “an iPad, a one-year Performance Plus subscription, a Sentry Portable ADS-B Receiver, and a ForeFlight Swag Bag,” according to ForeFlight.
