Well as of 4:00pm on Friday afternoon we have clear blue skies, a west wind and already about 25 airplanes that have flown in for this year’s fly-in. There’s a beautifully restored J-3 Cub that has all of its original paperwork, including the bill of sale from 1946. A Waco YMF parked out front and our Fairchild PT-19 has been giving rides this afternoon.
We’re offering rides today and tomorrow in our PT-19, Waco INF and our beloved Aeronca Champ.
We’re showing the movie Pearl Harbor tonight at 7:30 in the main hangar and the classic film, Blue Max tomorrow night at 7:30.
Addison Pemberton is scheduled to arrive around 5:00 this evening and we plan to meet him in the air with the INF and fly around the Skagit valley a bit.
Tomorrow morning breakfast will be served at the high school from 7:00am to 11:00am and there will be food vendors here all day.
And don’t forget about our guest speakers this year, Addison Pemberton talking about his Boeing Model 40C and Richard Bach talking about his life as a pilot.
Looking forward to seeing everybody here at 3W5 tomorrow.
