Cow Pastures to Commercial Airways:
Registration Fees and Refunds

Note On Registration Fee: In these trying economic times we appreciate not only the effort but the costs incurred by those attending the AAA/APM Invitational fly-in. However, 2012 brings new financial challenges for the AAA/APM as our costs to host the fly-in continue to rise. Therefore the Board of Directors of both the AAA and APM have decided that a modest increase in our registration fee for the 2012 fly-in, while unwanted, is necessary. So, registration for the whole five day event will increase to $65. That represents an increase of just $1.00 a day. Camping costs will remain the same as last year at $60 for the entire fly-in.

Your registration fees help pay for the costs associated with the fly-in including security, emergency services, rental equipment, and insurance amongst others.

As part of their membership benefits there is NO REGISTRATION CHARGE TO LIFETIME MEMBERS (camping or bunkhouse fees do apply to Lifetime members, however).

The registration fees charged for all attendees (members & guests) at the AAA/APM Fly-in is predicated on attendance of the entire five day fly-in event. Since many of the fly-in costs are constant for the event regardless of length of time a particular guest stays, and since we want to encourage folks to attend for multiple days, we require an up-front payment of the total registration fee at the time of registration.

For those who must leave early (prior to Sunday Sept 3) and can only stay for a few days we offer a refund of the "unused" registration fee when you leave. There are no refunds on Sunday. This policy has been confusing to some attendees, so the chart below is designed to illustrate the registration fees and refunds. Choose the row based on your day of arrival, and then choose the column for the day of departure. Early departure refunds can be claimed at the registration desk at the fly-in before noon daily.
