— from Anthony Simpson. Orcas Port Manager —

It’s a little early, but maybe not.

Mark your calendars. The local EAA chapter 937 here on Orcas Island has set the date for this year’s Fly-In at the Eastsound Airport for August 7-9.

Unlike most years, this is not the weekend of SeaFair down in Seattle. So, all things being equal, that could make for a larger than normal turnout of airplanes from around the Northwest.
