"WHY SHOULD I PAY A $10:00 FLYING FEE, WHEN I CAN FLY FREE ANY DAY ?"
How many times have we heard this statement?  Many times without a doubt.   The problem with most Fly-Ins is that your only reward, other than flying, is observing others fly and the free lunch, if you register.  
 
Starting with the Golden Era Fly-In this year, on September 28th, we have decided to provide an incentive that has never been done before.   All Bay City Flyer members who register for the Golden Era Fly-In this year will receive one free raffle ticket.   The winner of this raffle will receive a certificate for a one year free membership to Bay City Flyers for 2020.
 
Well there it is.  If you feel lucky, come to the Golden Era Fly-In, register for $10.00, and you may win the 2020 free-dues Certificate.
