Today was the 82nd anniversary of the D-Day landings on the Normandy coast June 6th, 1944. In honor and remembrance of the brave pilots and aircraft of WW2 we hosted Remember the Warbirds. Remember the Warbirds was SMAA’s first attempt at a warbird themed Funfly. While the wind was most uncooperative several pilots showed up for a fun time of camaraderie, good food, and of course chasing planes that are blowing away and tying down canopies to keep the wind from taking them airborne. On a brighter note, the P51 kite was able to make several successful flights! Thank you to everyone that braved the wind to come out to the field today and a big thank you to Erick, Stephanie, Vicky, and Phil for handling a great lunch and Rod, Dan, and Phil for getting the place setup Friday and cleaned up today.
We look forward to seeing everyone and hopefully better weather October 10th, 2026 for our annual Spooktacular Funfly so make sure to save the date on your calendars!
