Mark 12 May for Roanoke Valley "Wings and Wheels Fly-In" As spring approaches we urge everyone to save 12 May (the Saturday just before Mother's Day) for the Valley-Favorite "FLY-IN" at the Halifax Northampton Regional Airport. As in previous years, proceeds will be donated to the Roanoke Valley Veteran's Museum in Becker Village Mall and this year we'll also donate to the American Legion Post 38 Auxiliary Roanoke Rapids, and to the WOUNDED WARRIOR Patriot Foundation at Ft. Bragg. Bring the whole family to the FLY-IN to see: Air Force A-10 Tank-Killing airplanes used in the Mid-East Army Hummer with mounted machine gun and soldiers from Ft. Bragg Coast Guard C-130 Fly-by Paratrooper jumping in to start the event with the American Flag flying Remote Control (Large Scale) Warbird airplane demonstration Inflatable Bouncing, Sponge Bob, Smokey the Bear, Andy the Ambulance for the Kids Tuskegee Airmen (invited) Classic automobiles and motorcycles We'll honor Roanoke Valley Veterans from recent wars and recall their heroic actions that earned them some of the nation's highest awards. This Year we also plan to have low cost (around $25) airplane rides provided through the new LSA America Allegro Airplane manufactured right here in the Roanoke Valley. LSA America is planning to move out to our New Airport as soon as their new facility can be built. Thousands of Valley residents have enjoyed previous FLY-In food, vendors, informative displays, and most importantly - the opportunity to honor local Veterans. Gates open to the public at 9:00am till 5:00pm. The Event is FREE, but there is a $5 parking fee. See you there.
