McCall Fly-In scheduled for Aug. 11-13
BOISE - Idaho Transportation Department's Division of Aeronautics will sponsor the fifth annual McCall Family Fly-In Aug. 11-13.
Once a safety program for pilots and their aircraft, the Fly-In has evolved into an activity that attracts flying enthusiasts from throughout the region for a weekend of aviation exhibits, educational and safety seminars and entertainment.
This year's activities include a display of antique and unique airplanes, aircraft rides for kids, fly-bys and education and training opportunities for pilots. Pilots also can participate in Wings, a pilot safety program, and PACE (Pilot and Aircraft Courtesy Evaluation).
The weekend also will feature a behind-the-scenes tour of a fire center and the McCall Airport, contests, live music, a Boy Scout merit badge clinic and a pancake breakfast on Sunday.
The McCall Family Fly-In, which has become a summer staple in Valley County, is open to the public. Fees may apply for some activities.
A schedule of weekend activities will be available later. For more information, contact FusionSet in Boise at (208) 343-6225.
