Zoom on in to the fourteenth annual Lyon County Fly-In, Armed Forces Weekend, Saturday and Sunday, May 15 and 16, 2010, at the Silver Springs Airport for a weekend of fun-filled skies. The Fly-In is officially open from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Saturday and 3:00 PM Sunday and there will be a pancake breakfast each day, free to pilots who fly in, from 7:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m.

The Lyon County Fly-In is about antique aircraft alongside modern military and fire-fighting planes. Meet pilots, builders, and restorers of military, antique, and ultra-light aircraft. Enjoy the “Young Eagles” program where we take young people aloft for their first off-the-ground experience.

The Lyon County Fly-In offers the Young Eagles First Flight program, where youth ages 8 to 17 can fly FREE with a general aviation pilot. This encourages young people to consider their future in math, science, or aviation. The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 403 provides the pilots, who volunteer their time, their plane, and their expertise. Great thanks to EAA.

 

The Lyon County Fly-In has flown a record number of kids in the past two years, and in 2010 we hope to top even that!
Above are some of our exhilarated and very happy Young Eagles.


The 2010 Fly-In will feature, among many others, these great planes of today and yesterday:
