People gather by small planes on a grassy airstrip with vibrant autumn trees in the background. A blue sky and clouds create a peaceful mood.
There is not much more fun than when you get a bunch of aviation enthusiasts together.

Why Fall Is Perfect for Aviation Events

Fall brings cooler air, beautiful skies, and a strong sense of community in general aviation. Across the Southeast, pilots gather for seasonal fly-ins, airshows, and EAA chapter events that celebrate the joy of flying. These gatherings are more than just a chance to log hours—they build relationships, showcase aircraft, and inspire the next generation of aviators.


Must-See Southeastern Fall Fly-Ins

  • Triple Tree Aerodrome Fall Fly-In (SC): Famous for its hospitality, grass runways, and community feel.

  • Peach State Aerodrome (GA): Offers a family-friendly fly-in atmosphere with food, music, and vintage aircraft.

  • Local EAA Chapter Gatherings: Many chapters host pancake breakfasts, safety seminars, and hangar meetups throughout fall.

  • Regional Airshows: Events across Georgia and the Carolinas feature aerobatics, static displays, and opportunities to meet vendors.


Tips for Attending a Fall Fly-In

  1. Plan Ahead: Check NOTAMs and arrival procedures—popular events can get busy.

  2. Pack Smart: Bring tie-downs, chocks, and basic tools in case of weather changes.

  3. Network: Fly-ins are a great chance to meet fellow pilots, aircraft owners, and potential buyers or sellers.

  4. Capture the Moment: Photos and videos of your trip make great content for personal logs and social media.


Why These Events Matter

Fly-ins aren’t just about planes—they’re about people. They bring together seasoned pilots, new aircraft owners, and aviation enthusiasts in a way that strengthens the general aviation community. For businesses like Stikes Aviation, they also provide an opportunity to connect with future buyers, sellers, and builder-assist clients.


Final Thoughts

This fall, don’t miss the chance to combine flying with community. Whether you’re chasing pancakes, airshows, or new friendships, aviation events are the perfect way to celebrate the season.
