Annual Wings over Cypress Open House
Saturday November 2nd 2024 the weather opened up and held out long enough for our open house. Due to low clouds we had a late start flying Young Eagles so to bide the time we did the toy drop early, much to the enjoyment of the kids!
For those of you curious over 61 young eagles experienced flight, in a total of over 41 flight operations by 12 pilots. There was much scampering after toys by the young children, plenty of planes for everyone to see, and many hot dogs were consumed. Despite having to shut down early due to weather coming in, all in all a very good day. Thanks to all our neighbors who showed up to make it such a success! The Skinner Road Airport Community Association (SRACA) normally hosts its Annual open house for the people in our surrounding communities the first (or second) Saturday in November from 10am to 3pm We enjoy being able to share our love of aviation and giving introductory flights to kids through the EAA Young Eagles Program and this event gives our neighbors the opportunity to learn about aviation, the airport, and meet the people who fly and live here. Free drinks, hot dogs and snacks are provided. There are static displays of aircraft, a toy drop for young children, and the EAA Vintage Chapter 2 will host free airplane rides for children 8- 17 (with parental signature) through the EAA Young Eagles Program Please note, to ensure your child gets to fly we suggest arriving early as slots fill up quickly. Rides will shut down at 3pm. Click here for a flyer with more information on the open house |
