Warbird Weekend Fly-Day

Date: Sunday, 6 June 2010
Time: 9am-4pm, flying from 10am-2pm
Admission: $5 minimum donation/person requested
Location: Heritage Flight Museum ramp @ Bellingham Airport. Click here for a map.
Parking: [5June2010] - The grass parking areas are VERY soggy. There is a paid gravel parking lot at the corner of Bakerview & Mitchell. It is a mere $1/hour! Probably worth it if you don't fancy getting stuck in the mud!!

What to Expect:

• Just like our regular, monthly fly day this is a chance to get up close to some of the aircraft of the WWII, Korea and Viet Nam era's. We have asked some of our warbird-flying friends to join us for this event, so there will be other aircraft on flying and static display as well. For a list of aircraft that are expected to be here, go the the Aircraft page...
• There will be flights conducted throughout the day, some solo and some formation. These flights will be conducted in accordance with all of the standard flight rules at the airport - which means that there will be no special aerobatic displays or restricted air space. Our pilots always fly under the direction of the air traffic controllers and fit their passes into the general and commercial traffic here at Bellingham International.
• The Bel-Air R/C Flyers will be holding their annual Big Bird fly-in at their R/C field on Red River Road. Pay them a visit too!.
• Visitors are welcome to bring their own picnic lunches; garbage recepticles will be available for what doesn't get eaten!
• Please leave your pets at home or in a well-ventilated vehicle... Service animals excepted.
• There is likely to be a lot of aircraft movement during the day, so please follow the instructions of our volunteer ramp crew... they are there to guard everyone's safety!
• Bring your cameras and your questions! Photograph your favourite airplane... have a picture taken with the pilot... talk to Veteran's about their experiences. This is a great opportunity to see living history! We hope you enjoy your visit with us!
