A variety of seminars is on the schedule each day at the AOPA Campus in our tent at its usual spot on Laird Boulevard, across from the FAA building. Highlights include a sit-down meeting with AOPA Air Safety Institute Senior Vice President Mike Ginter and NTSB Director of Aviation Safety Tim LeBaron to talk about the process of accident investigation; another conversation with AOPA Senior Staff Attorney Jared Allen and Darrin Smedsmo, who is waiting for his Stinson to be returned to him after it was impounded following an emergency landing on tribal land in Minnesota; a session with Florida state Reps. Doug Bankson and Kim Kendall about how members can work with legislators; and a Pilot Town Hall meeting with AOPA senior staff, new Board Chairman Luke Wippler, and several additional members of the board of trustees. More seminars deal with topics like insurance, weather, and technique; some qualify for FAA Wings credit. (For exact dates and times please check the schedule.)

As if that alone is not reason enough for visiting the AOPA Campus, attendees and members will also be able to get up close and personal with the AOPA Sweepstakes Aviat Husky, its last airshow appearance before the lucky winner is drawn in June.

But wait, there's more! No matter if you want to renew your membership or need your aviation questions answered by subject matter experts, AOPA staff will be on hand to help. We also have you covered for souvenirs, available at the AOPA store offering branded T-shirts, hats, mugs, and more.

Finally, AOPA members save on tickets to Sun 'n Fun. Tickets are $30 off the weekly and $5 off the daily admission with a discount code.

And last but not least, the AOPA Campus is the perfect place to meet and chat with fellow aviators!
