ABOUT

The mission of the Summit is to elevate safety, “Better the Breed” and to raise funds for the Bill Gilliland Foundation that supports downed Mooney pilots and their families. Our team has put together an insightful, safety-rich program and we have secured great venues for our conference and events!

Registration is now open! The early registration rate is $149.00 (including a non-pilot guest) and is available through August 14th, after which it goes up to $199.00. This fee benefits the Bill Gilliland Foundation and helps offset expenses not covered by sponsors. The registration for you and a non-pilot guest includes the majority of meals (lunch and BBQ dinner on Friday as well as breakfast, lunch and banquet dinner on Saturday).
