Club Flyout - EAA Orcas Fly-In
The first full weekend in August, the Orcas Island EAA chapter hosts the annual fly-in and antique car show. In past years there have been 50-100 airplanes parked for camping during the fly-in. The quaint town of Orcas is a short walk from the airport for dining and shopping. During the fly-in, the fire station next to the airport hosts a pancake fund raiser so that covers your breakfast part of the day.
For those camping, it's best to stake out a spot early so we’ll depart late Friday morning August 5th. On Saturday we’ll also plan to make the hop over to Friday Harbor or Roche Harbor for some lunch or dinner. If you have extra time, you are welcome to stay a few extra days as a few of us will be making some day trips into other popular fly-in spots in Washington and/or staying over at airplane camping friendly airports on the return trip to Salem. See the October 2021 newsletter or a summary of our San Juan adventures last year.
If you aren’t a camper feel free to book a local B&B or fly-up early Saturday or Sunday morning for the day. If the San Juan Islands are on your flying destination bucket list, now is your opportunity to join in on the fun.
