Westminister Fly in was a success!

The Westminister Fly In was held on June 25, 2022 at the Carroll County Regional Airport.

There were 44 registered aircraft, with about another 5 or so that did not register, which made for a nice turnout.  There were even aircraft arriving around 1:00 PM, and some were still at the airport after the event ended!

Our own Ryan Fair gave a Crew Resource Management presentation that went really well – 20-30 people engaged and talking through the near disastrous incident this past spring.

Special thanks to the Senior Members and Cadets of Carroll Composite Squadron (See Our Squadron | Carroll Composite Squadron, MD-039 (cap.gov)), Maryland Wing Civil Air Patrol, of Westminister, Maryland for their help in marshalling the visiting aircraft. They were very professional and did an excellent job!
