Orcas Island Fly-In and Antique Car Show
August 1st-3rd at the Orcas Island Airport
Sponsored by the local Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 937. Pilots fly in from all around the Pacific Northwest and Canada filling up the field with a wide variety of aircraft, from homebuilts to warbirds. The Fly-in will also offer commemorative t-shirts and ball caps. The Fly-In is a fundraiser for the local EAA Chapter which is an international nonprofit organization that promotes aviation-related education and interests. Our Chapter also sponsors the Young Eagles Program which provides free airplane rides to young people ages 8 to 17 and of course, the Fly-In. No fees will be charged for aircraft camping or tie downs during the Fly-In weekend. For further information, please contact Dwight Guss at (360) 317-5970 or Gil Blinn at (360) 376-6579
