The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) will celebrate its 85th anniversary and honor the history of general aviation through a commemorative aircraft display and flyover in May 2024 at the National Mall, the association announced this week at EAA AirVenture.

With the support of Congress and in coordination with 15 interagency partners such as the FAA, the Transportation Security Administration, and the Secret Service, the flyover will broadcast live on YouTube, with long-time AOPA Live This Week host Tom Haines providing commentary with other guests.
