The 16th Annual Gathering at Waupaca - July 18-19, 2020

​Fun, food and friendship are again planned for our 16th annual Gathering in Waupaca, Wis. July 18 - 19, 2020.

Piper Flyer and Cessna FlyerAssociation members and guests join us in beautiful Waupaca. Meet your fellow members and association staff at a welcome reception Saturday evening.  

A full slate of informative seminars takes place on Sunday with time in between for networking and socializing. The Sunday evening banquet will be held at the Waupaca Ale House with good food and companionship.

Bright and early Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning (July 20 – 22) the air-conditioned motorcoach will take attendees to AirVenture, with an optional night bus on Wednesday to accommodate viewing the night air show.

​As usual, we’ll have some fabulous raffle prizes at our Sunday drawing.

(New this year, we are teaming up with Cherokees to Oshkosh for those Piper folk who want to fly the mass arrival to AirVenture, but don't want to camp on the AirVenture grounds. Scroll to the bottom for more information about that.)
