The Sweepstakes Super Cub is a remarkable refurbishment of a 1954 Super Cub by
Baker Air Service, the Montana aviation
firm owned by Roger and Darin Meggers.

and will feature a desktop simulator experience at AirVenture showing how easy
it is to stay proficient using inexpensive
desktop simulation. In addition, the AOPA
Air Safety Institute will offer opportunities to experience its "Safety Challenge" in
Redbird TD2 flight simulators.
Visitors can talk with AOPA staff about
topics such as insurance and aircraft financing, membership, and legal and medical
questions, as well as buy AOPA gear in the
AOPA tent. Check out the AOPA tent on the
