This is the second year for the Fly-in...you'll give it a thumbs up as well!
Fred Schumacher has the scoop:
In case you haven’t heard, Friday Harbor Airport is hosting its Fly-In and Open House this Saturday, July 23. It starts with a Pancake Breakfast and ends with a Big Band Hangar Dance. Everything will be happening South of the terminal, with the entrance at the tower. Parking is free and shuttle buses run all day. Look for parking signs near the airport.
Shuttle pickups will be at (1) The Airport, (2) Peace Island Medical Center Walking Bridge, (3) Office Supply Center, (4) Ball Field and (5) Old Mark n Pak Lot. Admission is free, too.
8-10am EAA Pancake Breakfast – $8 adults, $6 kids 12 and under.
10am Opening Ceremony, American Legion Post 163 Color Guard, national anthem sung by Jill Urbach, and US Navy F-18 Fly-by Salute.
10am-4pm Fly-In and Open House – Free. The show features antiques, warbirds and experimentals, and Cessna’s newest airplane, plus flyovers of airplanes rarely seen here.
The hangars will be full of displays. You can fly a real flight simulator and see model airplanes. Activities for the kids include face painting and a glider flying contest. Food vendors will be on hand selling everything from burgers to ice cream. Airplane rides can be bought or even won in drawings.
Kenmore Air will have a drawing for a Scenic Flight for eight people.
1:30-2:30pm Peace Island Medical Center Ground Breaking (across Franklin Drive).
7-10pm Big Band Hangar Dance with the One More Time Band – $5.

I loved the Fly-In last year and am looking forward to the fun this year! Lots of great aircraft to see. Great fun for the whole family. I get to bartend at the Hangar Dance which is a new addition this year. Fun, Fun, Fun!
