The Weekender: Tulips, Chili and BBQ

0

SocialFlight has for The Weekender two days or more of cookouts, fly-ins and airshows, plus an invitation to fly into Pella, Iowa, for the famous Tulip Festival. Pilots-in-command can enjoy breakfast free on Saturday before getting a ride to the festival. Shuttles to and from are available from Pella Municipal Airport Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Another three-day weekend awaits in California at the Columbia Biplane Fly-In. All aircraft are welcome. Fly in for one or two nightly cookouts: burgers and hot dogs for early arrivals on Friday and an evening barbecue on Saturday. Departures and farewells start Sunday morning.

Share your best chili recipe during Saturday’s fly-in at the Massey Aerodrome in Maryland. Tour the Massey Air Museum and its DC-3. Good weather will bring in more than 100 aircraft, many of them antiques flying into the grass runway. Just be aware than many of them will be flying no-radio. In Georgia, the 2015 Salute America Air Show will take place Saturday and Sunday at the Paulding Northwest Atlanta Airport for a celebration of aviation heritage. Airshow stars will include the RCAF Snowbirds and U.S. Army Golden Knights. There will be activities set up around the grounds for kids of all ages and a variety of vendors.
