EAA and the Arlington Fly-In have reached a new working agreement that clarifies a 20-year relationship and defines the EAA’s role to provide extensive promotion and coverage of the fly-in, and serve as a major sponsor for forums and workshops during the event. “We have set the stage for success in our shared missions,” said EAA Vice President Adam Smith, “which is to promote recreational aviation in all its forms.” The agreement will bring EAA judging standards to Arlington’s aircraft awards program, along with two EAA SportAir workshops to be held on the fly-in grounds at other times of the year. The Arlington Fly-In is set for July 9-13 this year. One weekly ticket for a fly-in visitor arriving by aircraft is $24. Daily tickets are $15 for airborne arrivals. EAA’s own AirVenture Oshkosh 2008 is set for July 28 through August 3.
