Saturday at the airport

Danville Regional Airport is scheduled to host a free Fly-In/Drive-In on Saturday, October 17, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The city announced it October 13 and lists classic cars, trucks, motorcycles, aircraft displays and a raffle.

The city says the event supports Flight Crew 4031, whose work includes non-emergency medical transportation and humanitarian aid. Attending the event is not an application for that transportation service.

Check the organizer before leaving

Overflow-parking shuttle service is included in the announcement. It does not specify shuttle departure points, accessibility arrangements, food prices or a weather plan.

Use the city notice and its organizer link for those remaining questions rather than assuming that free admission makes every activity or purchase free.

Save the actual event date with the link. An announcement left online after October 17 should not be mistaken for another upcoming Saturday event.

Gretna Junction has not inspected the site or confirmed a final aircraft lineup.
