Skyfarer Launches Aviation Events: One Place to Find Fly‑In, Pancake-breakfast, Airshow, Seminar, and Webinar
New directory debuts with thousands upcoming events nationwide — searchable by location, date, and event type — plus free event listings for organizers.
August 3, 2026
Skyfarer, the marketplace connecting student pilots and aviators with flight instructors, flight schools, and aviation services, today announced the launch of Aviation Events, a new category that brings the general aviation community’s calendar into one searchable place — from pancake-breakfast fly-ins and chapter meetings to FAA safety seminars, airshows, and online webinars.
Aviation has always run on events — but finding them has meant checking a half-dozen association calendars, club newsletters, and online groups. Aviation Events launches with thousands of events across the US, curated from public aviation calendars — including FAA Safety Team (FAASTeam) listings and chapter events nationwide — alongside events posted directly by organizers on Skyfarer.
“We built Skyfarer to help people become pilots — but many stop flying within a few years of earning their certificate. It’s not because they lost the love of it; it’s because they run out of reasons to go to the airport — no place to fly, nothing happening nearby,” said Nick Tsang, founder and CEO of Skyfarer. “Aviation Events is our answer. Whether it’s a fly-in two airports over, a WINGS seminar, or a chapter pancake breakfast, there’s always a reason to fly — and now one place to find it.”
For pilots and attendees
- Events near you, at a glance. An interactive map pairs with a month-at-a-glance calendar showing which days have events, with the soonest events always listed first.
- Search that fits the mission. Results filter by event type — airshows, fly-ins, pancake breakfasts, chapter meetings, seminars, FAA WINGS safety events, webinars, networking, and more — plus date range, keyword, and location, directly from the Skyfarer homepage.
- Online events included. Webinars and virtual seminars appear in results regardless of location, with a single toggle to focus on in-person events only.
- Never miss a date. Any event can be added to Google, Apple, or Outlook calendars in one click, and saved to favorites from search results, the map, or the listing itself.
- Details for interested pilots. Every listing shows the schedule with time zone, venue and address, the event’s website — and past events automatically drop out of view.
For organizers and hosts
- Free listings, published in minutes. Any organizer — from a two-person chapter to a national association — can post an event at no cost, set an in-person or online format, and go live the same day.
- Reach beyond the newsletter. Listed events appear in location and date searches, on the map, in nearby-event suggestions, and in Skyfarer’s homepage search — in front of an audience already looking for places to fly.
- Built for online events too. Online events carry a clear “Online event” badge, with the option to keep meeting links private until a booking is confirmed.
Aviation Events is designed mobile-first, from homepage search to listing pages, so pilots can find this weekend’s fly-in from the ramp. Event registration and ticketing directly through Skyfarer are coming soon.
