Annual Stearman Fly-In set June 13-14

ST. FRANCIS -- The 27th annual "Stearman Fly-In" is scheduled Saturday and Sunday, June 13 and 14, at the Cheyenne County Airport in St. Francis. The free event features Stearman aircraft, World War II-era open-cockpit, fabric-covered biplanes powered by radial engines.

Traditionally, pilots fly in to join the fun, and to display their aircraft. Some of these are rare or exotic, such as warbirds and those in the experimental category (homebuilts). Pilots arrive throughout the day Saturday.

Hot air balloons launch at sunrise on Saturday and Sunday, weather permitting. Skydiving demonstrations and Stearman rides take place throughout the day on Saturday.

The fly-in ends at noon on Sunday.

Breakfast and lunch will be available on Saturday and breakfast only on Sunday.
