We are excited to be inviting you back to Rochester WINGS 2012! In attendance will be thousands of pilots, crews, Aviation Maintenance Technicians (AMTs), repairmen, aviation business owners, dealer representatives, and many more active members of the General Aviation Industry.
This year’s event will be held in the US Airports luxurious corporate hangar facilities located on Scottsville Road at the Greater Rochester International Airport (KROC) on June 8th and June 9th.
The coordinators of Rochester WINGS 2012 are energized to continue our new focus this year: to cultivate and assist others from all walks of life to begin learning to fly. Many of our new events, seminars, and activities will be centered around giving people of every demographic the opportunity to learn about careers in aviation, meet a CFI, get connected with a mentor, take a Discovery flight and start working towards a rating. There will be numerous avionics demonstrations, learning stations for students, safety seminars, flight simulators and many more hands on events.
