Ohio’s First AOPA Fly-In Event to Take
Flight at Props and Pistons Festival
Akron, Ohio – The Props and Pistons Festival is honored to announce that it has been selected as the host venue for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) Fly-In event
in 2025. This prestigious gathering will mark the first AOPA Fly-In event ever held in Ohio, drawing an estimated 400 to 500 aircraft to Akron-Fulton Airport, August 16-17th, and transforming the city’s
skies into a showcase of aviation excellence.
In addition to the impressive display of aircraft, AOPA will present a series of expert-led seminars and a world-class trade show, providing attendees with valuable opportunities for education, networking, and engagement with the latest innovations in aviation. The selection of Akron as the host city highlights its strategic location, with a significant number of AOPA members residing within a 500-mile radius.
“This is a tremendous milestone for both the Props and Pistons Festival and the city of Akron,” said Hans Krah, Chairman, Props and Pistons Festival. “Hosting Ohio’s first AOPA Fly-In will not only
bring aviation enthusiasts and industry leaders together but will also showcase our region as a premier destination for aviation events.”
The success of this collaboration is made possible through the unwavering support of sponsors, volunteers, and donors whose contributions play a vital role in bringing world-class events to
Northeast Ohio. The Props and Pistons Festival, already known for its thrilling airshows, vintage aircraft displays, and community-driven programming, will now serve as the backdrop for one of the
most anticipated aviation gatherings in the country.
