Does anyone know anything about a fly-in in Lebanon OR, in conjunction with their Strawberry Festival the weekend of 6/5/10? A friend of mine suggested this as a possible trip, but the only aviation-related thing I could google up was an EAA Young Eagles event.

Might be good but I will stick with Burns Pancakes on that weekend.

Kind of hoping somebody from this area (like Savannah Tom-- hint, hint!) will pipe up and give me some feedback as to whether there's really gonna be a fly-in. I hate to go all the way there for a fly-in and have it be a bust. The guys I'll be flying with unfortunately aren't much for (relatively) unimproved strips so a lot of possible alternates in the area are out.

Here's what I could find on the strawberry festival fly-in. Stolen from the AOPA website:

Jun 5 - 6 — Lebanon, OR. Lebanon State (S30). Lebanair Aviation Strawberry Days Fly in`. 2nd Annual Fly In and Young Eagle Days. Held during the Annual Lebanon Strawberry days Festival and the Annual Tractor Pull. Shuttle service provided free to both. Hot Dog & Burgers on site. Contact Larry D. Knox, 541-258-5029. Email Website Event ID: 14259

I hope to head for Burns, myself, but this would be a good backup plan for marginal weather.

I've had experience in the past with a "fly-in" being listed on a calendar, but when the date comes nothing happens. If you haven't heard anything locally about this one, Tom, I'm gonna take a guess & bet that it's not gonna turn out to be much of anything.

This event is on! I flew in this morning to gas up my plane. $3.35 for mogas. Larry says he has been guaranteed at least another year of ethanol free 91. Here's the poster on the fly-in:


oops. I see I cut off the right hand edge. You get the idea.

My plan is Burns Saturday as long as I don't have to scud run in the mountains.

Sunday looks good, if the wife wants we will head to Lebanon. If she doesn't want to go I'll come by myself. I see there are tractor pulls too.

Cheers...Rob

See you and LoraLee there. Cheers...Rob

Tractor pull is cancelled because of too much RAIN! FBO is having hamburgers, hotdogs, chili dogs Sat., and Sun., for small cost. 3 airport cars available.

Now that is funny. To much mud for tractors.

I may fly down with the wife if the wx is ok. Don't look good now. Cheers...Rob
