Antique Aircraft Fly-in

July 12, 2011

Thirty-plus aircraft were at the Libby Airport on Monday, July 11 for an Antique Aircraft Fly-in brought in by a flying club from Washington. The Rotary Club sold hot dogs, chips and soda for a dollar, and sold out. Over 200 Libby residents enjoyed the display. A flight in a Stearman was raffled. The flying club spent the night in Libby. The tour brought with it about 70 pilots and crew.
