Chris,

In April, we typically attend Sun'n Fun down in Lakeland, Fla. In May,
there's the yearly fly-in at Moontown, Ala. (3M5), a wonderful grass strip
just south of Huntsville. In July, there's the Cracker Fly-In at
Gainesville, Ga. (GVL).There's not much during the summer in the our area
due to the haze and heat. There are numerous airshows, but I'm listing
fly-ins as per your request. In September, our gang hits the LaFayette
Fly-In at LaFayette, Ga.(9A5), and then in October, the perfect flying
weather here, there are too many to attend. The first weekend is SERFI in
Evergreen, Ala. (http://www.serfi.org/) We didn't attend this one last year
as it conflicted with a private fly-in we like to fly to. The second weekend
is my favorite fly-in bar none: The Thomasville Fly-In at Thomasville, Ga.
(http://www.thomasvilleflyin.com/) The third weekend in October is the Great
Coosa Valley Fly-In in Rome, Ga. (http://www.romefestivals.org/fly_in.htm)
and the first weekend in November finds us at Calhoun, Ga. (CZL).

Most of these are in the northern part of the state, and I'm sure there are
just as many in your area. Go to www.southernaviator.com for more info on
fly-ins around the South and
http://www.autopilotmagazine.com/georgiaissue.html for info that is state
specific.

For info about aviation in Georgia in general try:

Post if you get more info about the Dublin fly-in. We'd love to fly down.
BTW, Vidalia has a great airshow during the Onion Festival in May. There
several aircraft-type specific fly-ins around also that we attend.
