Florida West Coast Chapter Networking Event

July 10 @ 4:00 pm - 7:30 pm

$72.40

Get ready for an exciting and unique evening exploring the inner workings of Tampa International Airport!

We’re offering a special event that combines a fascinating airfield tour with a fun airport scavenger hunt.

Due to logistical constraints, we can only accept 22 people for this event. Our group of 22 will be split into two smaller groups to experience both activities followed by dinner in the Skyye Bar & Grill located in the Marriott Hotel at the Airport. Note, this event starts at 4pm instead of 4:30pm.

Airfield tour:
From the mini-bus, watch for arriving and departing aircraft as you drive along the airport service roads where you’ll learn about:
Airfield Maintenance
Air Cargo
Firefighter Training
Fuel Farm
Aircraft Maintenance Hangars
Airport Fire Station
General Aviation Facilities

Your experienced guide will talk about the instrument landing system, runways, and taxiways while you watch planes land and take off. The tour includes a visit to the airport fire station to learn firsthand from the crew what it takes to be an airport firefighter while taking an up-close look at the special Aircraft Rescue and firefighting vehicles.

Scavenger Hunt:
Each group will be provided with a list of 31 items that can be found inside the airport. Your group will divide into teams to search for the items and compete to finish first. The group that finds the most items in 45 minutes wins!

Here’s how the evening will unfold:

4:00 PM: Meet at a designated location within Tampa International Airport (specific meeting point details will be provided to confirmed attendees).

Tour Group 1 (11 people): Will promptly embark on an airfield tour via a shuttle bus (maximum capacity of 11). Get ready for an up-close look at the aircraft, operations, and the busy environment of the tarmac!

Tour Group 2 (11 people): Will dive into an engaging scavenger hunt throughout the airport, discovering interesting facts and hidden gems within the terminal.
Switch at Approximately 5:00 PM: Once the initial tours are complete (approximately one hour), the two groups will switch activities, ensuring everyone gets to experience both the airfield tour and the scavenger hunt.

6:00 PM: Both tours will conclude.

6:00 PM onwards: We’ll gather for dinner at the Skyye Bar & Grill, located within the Marriott at Tampa International Airport. (order off the menu, alcohol is on separate checks) It’s the perfect opportunity to relax, share your tour experiences, and enjoy a meal together with fantastic airport views.

With only 22 spots available, please RSVP as soon as possible. Spots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
