With summer around the corner, we are busily preparing for fly-in season here in Concrete. In addition to the five fly-ins that will be happening here, we are also making plans to fly some of our airplanes to some of the other great fly-ins around the pacific northwest (and beyond).
Our big fly-in here in Concrete will be again held in late July. The newly renamed Concrete North Cascades Vintage Fly-In will be taking place July 22-24 with the main day being Saturday, the 23rd. We are expecting another fantastic fly-in and already have several interesting aircraft attending. Addison Pemberton’s Boeing Model 40 will be back, as will the Laird. Addison says as many as a dozen or so biplanes may be flying in from Felts Field.
The beautiful 1933 Stinson Model O that graced Arlington and Oshkosh in 2010 will be here this year. And we’re hoping to have a Douglas DC-3 make the trip.
In addition to the big fly-in, we are planning several smaller ones that will be low-key get togethers for anybody who wants to enjoy a nice day in the north cascades. The first of these will be Saturday, May 21st. We’re calling it our "Taildragger Pancake Breakfast" and we encourage anybody with a tail dragger or anybody who likes tail draggers to come by for breakfast.
