to the skies is not as difficult as most rusty pilots think. We’re
inviting you back in the cockpit and will help you get there. Come and
participate in this Rusty Pilots program with fellow lapsed pilots. We
will help you understand what’s changed in aviation since you last took
the controls and brush up on your aviation knowledge. The Rusty Pilots
program is developed by AOPA in partnership with local flight training
providers in order to create the best environment for getting you back
in the air and a part of the general aviation community.
It is easier than most people think – no FAA check ride or test.
Might not even need a medical.
Plus, by attending, you'll be getting two to three hours of ground instruction towards your flight review!

the restaurant for those flying into Metter Municipal Airport (KMHP).
