In 2011:  Zoom on in to the fifteenth annual Lyon County Fly-In, Armed Forces Weekend, Saturday and Sunday, May 21 and 22, 2011, at the Silver Springs Airport for a weekend of fun-filled skies. The Fly-In is officially open from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Saturday and 3:00 PM Sunday and there will be a pancake breakfast each day, free to pilots who fly in, from 7:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m.

The Lyon County Fly-In is about antique aircraft alongside modern military and fire-fighting planes. Meet pilots, builders, and restorers of military, antique, and ultra-light aircraft. Enjoy the “Young Eagles” program where we take young people aloft for their first off-the-ground experience.
Our emphasis is on youth.

The Lyon County Fly-In offers the Young Eagles First Flight program, where youth ages 8 to 17 can fly FREE with a general aviation pilot. This encourages young people to consider their future in math, science, or aviation. Thanks to the pilots of EAA Chapter 1073 for the pilots, planes, and expertise. The Lyon County Fly-In has flown a record number of kids in the past two years, and we hope to top even that!

Above are some of our exhilarated and very happy Young Eagles.

The 2010 Fly-In will feature, among many others, these great planes of today and yesterday:

Idaho Air National Guard A10	P51 Mustang	Care Flight Helicopter	Enjoy Biplane rides and antique Biplanes from Hawthorne	And don't forget the AT6s
