Diamond Point: Airport Days this weekend

Good flying weather Saturday could bring up to 75 small aircraft for Airport Days at Diamond Point Airport straddling Clallam and Jefferson counties.

Attendance at the one-day event is usually directly tied to the weather, according to Gary Getch, a festival organizer.

The event, which celebrates the fact there is an airport at Diamond Point, lasts from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Getch said. The public is invited to view the aircraft.

In addition, members of the local Experimental Aircraft Association will provide rides for youngsters age 7-17 as part of their Young Eagles program.

EAA member Bill Gohsman said each youngster will receive a 20-minute flight, have his or her picture taken with the pilot and receive a certificate commemorating the event.

The Young Eagle flights will be given from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. according to Gohsman. Young Eagles must have a permission form signed by a parent or guardian in order to take part.
