ST. SIMONS ISLAND'S Malcolm Mc Kinnon Airport
(SSI) is playing host to the seventh and final AOPA fly-in
of 2014, an event and a destination that truly has something
for everyone.
Whether your passion is only aviation, or you are bringing a beach-loving, golf-playing load of family and friends
with you, the hardest decision will be how long to stay.
Despite "only being a beach town," St. Simons truly does
offer something for everyone. Far beyond a simple beach
town, the island offers some of the country's best resorts,
best golfing, great shopping, enticing history, and a smattering of mouth-watering restaurants. Not to mention, the
locals love the airport and are welcoming AOPA members
with open arms. There will be speakers, great food, dozens
of exhibitors, and hundreds of cool airplanes to take in. Join
us November 8 at SSI.
