WMU College of Aviation’s FREE Annual Fly-In on April 12: Egg Hunt, Aircraft + Food

Alpha Eta Rho-Theta Invites Families for an Egg Hunt, Food & Planes

Do you have your own personal aircraft? Do you like Easter egg hunts?

If the answers to both questions are yes, hop in your plane and fly to Battle Creek on April 12 for WMU’s College of Aviation’s Annual Fly-in.

Oh, you’re not a pilot? Don’t worry, you can drive there too.

This annual tradition, hosted by Alpha Eta Rho-Theta, welcomes families for a free event packed with planes, food, and an egg search.

Read on for the upcoming Fly-in schedule and planned activities:

What is a Fly-In Event?

While most attendees will drive to this event, fly-ins invite visitors to attend with their aircraft. Expect plenty of planes—and some helicopters, too!

The Fly-In is hosted by Alpha Eta Rho-Theta, WMU’s professional fraternity for aviation.

Although FREE to attend, they do ask that you register for the event to gauge attendance.

Activities for Families

In addition to checking out the planes, this event includes some kid-friendly fun. Most of these activities are geared for children five years old and older:

• Easter Egg Hunt
• Arts and crafts
• Air Craft Simulators
• Static Display of Aircraft and Helicoptors
• Eat! Pulled pork and hot dogs will be available for purchase.
