Here you will find links to the various Flying Hamburger Socials. Each Branch of the Social has a specific night that it will host that branch's social.
How a social works best:
1. An airport agrees to host a social
2. The host airport or group hosting the social, contacts their local pilots and the neighboring airports to encourage the pilots and other airports to participate. A host airport typically hosts once perhaps twice a season. After hosting, the pilots or groups who just hosted have the opportunity to support the other neighboring airports by having fun flying to the neighboring airport's social.
3. It also helps to have your local pilots sign up for the email or Facebook pages to be notified when the Flying Hamburger Social is.

. The socials are held every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. If you would like to host on a Monday or Friday you certainly may but it has been our experience that attendance is down on those days. The event is typically from 5 PM to 7 PM. If you would like to start earlier or continue later that is entirely up to you. We do ask though that the main event is between 5 PM and 7 PM.
5. How much and what kind of food you have for your social is entirely up you. We ask that you use the K.I.S.S. method. Keep It Simple Silly! Burgers and hotdogs / brats are always a good draw. With continued rising costs please don't break your piggy bank over this.
The Flying Hamburger Social in the Midwest (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan) goes from the beginning of June until the end of August. Other parts of the country may host the social in a different time of the year depending on when the best flight conditions are for that area.

Special Dates - Some socials have special dates outside of their normal day. This is due to a number of reasons. 1. There may be no other socials scheduled in that branch. 2. There is a special event going on that day that we would certainly take into consideration for the change.
