Dear Local Arizona EAA Chapters,

Havasu Air Center would like to personally invite you to our annual “Fly-in at the Lake 2010”. And request to have or event added to your event calendar. This is a premier air show that will be held on Saturday, September 25th and 26th at the Lake Havasu City Airport (KHII). There will be many different events that will take place during our two day fly-in. One of the main features will be the American Hero’s Air Show. This is an air show and static display of advanced military and civilian helicopters and a chance to meet the pilots who fly them. Havasu Air Center will also be hosting the B-25 (Maid in the Shade). This will be the aircrafts first time to be certified to give rides. There will be many different types of active military aircrafts from our local military bases available for viewing as well as aircraft manufacturers to display their new 2010 aircraft.
