Colorado Front Range pilots and aviation enthusiasts—consider this your invitation to be part of something special at Greeley–Weld County Airport (KGXY) this June! For this year’s Short Wing Piper Club International Convention, we’re opening our tent wide to welcome the entire aviation community.

The Short Wing Piper Club celebrates the vintage and iconic Piper Vagabond, Clipper, Pacer, Tri-Pacer, and Colt — aircraft beloved for their versatility, ramp appeal, and the camaraderie they inspire among pilots.

Join us Wednesday, June 24 at 12:00 pm for an Aviation Community Barbecue at the airport picnic area—no registration required – only $15 (CHEAP!). Just show up, enjoy great food, swap stories, and connect with fellow aviators. While you’re there, take your experience to the next level with unforgettable warbird rides from the Commemorative Air Force.

Then, don’t miss the true highlight of the convention: our Thursday, June 25 banquet at 6:00 pm, featuring renowned keynote speaker Michael Maya Charles. His powerful presentation on becoming truly extraordinary—both in and out of the cockpit—will challenge, inspire, and elevate the way you think about flying and life. This is the pilot upgrade that you didn’t know you needed.

Come for the airplanes. Stay for the people. Leave inspired. This is what “aviation community” looks like…
