Beautiful antique aircraft visit Boundary County
Airport |
|
July 15, 2015 |
Boundary County residents were treated to a
beautiful display of antique aircraft on Monday,
July 13, and again the following day on Tuesday,
as members of the Puget Sound Antique Aircraft
Club brought their 2015 Pacific Northwest Air
Tour to our local airport.
Visitors were welcome at the airport for the
event, and many were on hand as the
approximately 30 planes flew
in and landed. Once the planes were on the
ground and secure, everyone was free to wander
around the tie-down area and have a look at the
airplanes. The aircraft owners / pilots spent
time visiting with the onlookers, providing
information, and answering many questions. Many
of the pilots let some of the children sit
inside their planes.

Many different aircraft were represented in the
group, including Cessna, Howard, Stearman,
Piper, Boeing, and others, including an
experimental airplane.
The planes and their owners / pilots spent the
night in our area, leaving this morning to
continue the tour to Crystal Lakes, Montana, and
then to Kalispell, Montana. Next up after
Kalispell: Kamiah and Lewiston, Idaho. Prior to
arriving in Bonners Ferry, they had also visited
Richland, Washington and St. Maries, Idaho.
Just before they headed for the skies to leave
Boundary County on Tuesday, a crowd gathered
once again to see the aircraft and watch them
taxi down the runway and fly on to the east.
We are including several photographs of only a
few of the airplanes that were here for the
event.
