Those who check in via the AOPA app’s Pilot Passport feature during the month of September can participate in the “Soak in Summer Skies Challenge.” (See the official rules.) The three participants with the most check-ins at airports will receive a $50 SiriusXM gift card.

This could be the perfect time for a daytrip or a weekend getaway to enjoy the sun and outdoors at many airports across the United States. We offer a guide with dozens of airports that feature outdoor destinations and activities:

 

  • Beach.
  • Biking.
  • Boating and kayaking.
  • Camping.
  • Caverns.
  • Fishing.
  • Golfing.
  • Hiking and walking.

Combining flying with other hobbies can be an excellent way to relax and enjoy the end of summer. By checking in at the airports where you land, you can have fun while increasing your chances of winning a $50 SiriusXM gift card.
