Marathon Aviation Day Open House

October 04, 2009

Try this on for an opening: Kids can get free plane rides there.

I thought that might work. And it’s even true.

Refurbished historic "warbirds" and home-built airplanes will be displayed at the Aviation Day Open House, located at mile marker 51 at Marathon Airport in the Florida Keys, on Nov. 14, 2009, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event will feature food and fun plus the aforementioned free plane rides for kids ages 8-17 (with appropriate permission).

The only kicker is I’m not sure how I’m going to pass for a 17-year-old. I’ve got to get into one of those warbirds over the Keys – something I’ve never done.

Call 305-393-6937 for more information or email: fderfler@gmail.com.

While you're in Marathon, you should head over to nearby Bahia Honda Park. This is me there.
