Rocky Aviation is honored to host a segment of the Fly Kansas Air Tour
On September 27th Rocky Aviation will host and keynote the Fly Kansas Air Tour stop at Goodland Municipal Airport in Goodland, KS. Dustin Stephenson, President of Rocky Aviation, will provide keynote remarks and will be joined by Stephanie Stephenson and Jake Knights.
The Fly Kansas Air Tour originally began in 1928 to demonstrate the fledgling aviation industry across the state. The tour was restarted by KCAE (Kansas Commission on Aerospace Education) in 2008 as a commemorative event to pay homage to the "Air Capital of the World" and aviation clusters around the Kansas. Today, the event reaches local communities across the state to promote interest in aviation with a focus on aviation education, pilot camaraderie, and industry development.
The success of the commemorative in 2008 led to the creation of an inaugural event in partnership with the Kansas Department of Transportation, Division of Aviation in 2014 that is now in it's fifth and largest year yet.
