Every
year on Memorial Day weekend, the town of Brookings
holds its Azalea Festival in celebration of a local wild flower,
the Azalea. The event lasts the entire weekend, with parades, music,
food, and lots of other interesting activities. The Brookings Flying
Club holds their annual Airport
Day on Sunday of that weekend. The club offers plane rides to
the public. The club uses a reservation system that has worked
very well. A time slot is assigned ticket holder, and they
can wander and do other things, and not have to stand in a long
line. The rides are very popular. Helicopter rides were provided
by Air Shasta from Redding, Calif. A few years ago we had three
T-28 Trojans arrive in formation, doing several low passes before
landing and going on display all day. All are welcome. There
is no charge for the admission, but the Civil Air Patrol will ask
for a $2 donation for autos. If you fly in, it's free.
Brigadier
General Chuck Yeager gave an hour talk for the Young
Eagles Day to about 400 kids and adults at the Brookings Airport
on Sunday, March 9, 2003. Young Eagle rides were to be given
after the talk, but high wind, rain and fog forced the rides to
be held at a date to be announced. For more info click here.
The
club is also involved with kids. A Scholarship is given to
a local student each year from money generated from the airport
day. Click here
for a Scholarship Application. The club is now working with
the Big
World of Flight, an organization from the state of Washington
to introduce kids to aviation, and becoming involved with the Young
Eagles program.
