Arlington Fly-In slated for July

By Meg Godlewski · June 22, 2009 ·

The annual Arlington Fly-In and Sport Aircraft Convention is slated for July 8-12 at the Arlington Municipal Airport (AWO) north of Seattle.

Among the highlights of this year’s event are a presentation by aviatrix Arty Trost, a long-distance ultralight pilot, who recently flew her open cockpit ultralight from her home in Oregon to Lakeland, Fla., for the Sun ‘n Fun Fly-In. Trost will give a special presentation on her latest 3,500-mile trip at the Runway Theater on Friday evening.

For aircraft builders there are several workshops on materials and techniques, including a Composite Workshop that is free with advanced reservation.

The show features an elaborate warbird display area and rides for sale aboard a B-25 Pacific Prowler and a 1930 New Standard biplane.

Other planned activities include radio-controlled aircraft, jet and helicopter demonstrations, the appearance of the only airworthy Boeing 40 in existence, and a car show.

Sunday, July 12, is Veterans Appreciation Day, with free admission for all veterans.

There is camping on site, and visitors can both fly and drive to the event.

    Arty Trost is a long time friend of mine. Both of us have roots in the Northwest. Long distance UL pilot hardly describes her feats. Actually Arty did over 7000 miles on this particular trip as she flew back from Lakeland, FL over the Rockies to her home base in Portland, OR. AFTER flying down to the Florida Keys. Do not miss this opportunity to meet this incredible pilot, as you will all learn something from her, no matter what your past aviation experiences are.
