On Saturday we hosted our first open hangar/fly-in day of the summer and enjoyed a great turnout. About 25 different planes flew in during the course of the day and at one point we had about 30 airplanes (including several museum airplanes) parked on the grass. It looked like a real fly-in.
Of course the amazing weather helped and there were a lot of pilots in the area who have been waiting for a Saturday like we enjoyed in the North Cascades for quite a while. We had several visitors from Canada as well as from around the northwest.
A big thanks to everybody who stopped by for hamburgers and hot dogs and make it such a fun day.
Keep an eye on our schedule for the upcoming dates for more open hangar days. In addition to the annual fly-in next month which will include Addison Pemberton’s Boeing Model 40, we plan to have another open hangar day in August and again in September. We will also have our annual Corn Roast as well this fall. We will be posting the dates in the next week.
Oh, and for those of you waiting on the Pietenpol update, sorry, it was a busy week. We’ll have the post up in the next couple of days including photos from the Pietenpol project of our guessing game winner. Turns out he’s building an Air Camper, so was quite familiar with the airplane.
