2018 Buhl Fly-In, What a Blast!
2018 Buhl Fly-In
Our Fly-In was a hit with pilots flying to compete in the Spot Landing Competition from as far away as Alpine, Wyoming, and Nampa, Idaho. Over 40 years separated the oldest pilot from the youngest pilot. The oldest plane flown to the Fly-In was built during Word War II. The Buhl Rotary and B&L Meats both sold out breakfast and lunch. Local pilots made ten flights around the Magic Valley and gave the lucky winners of the Free Flight Raffle a gorgeous view of Shoshone Falls and the Snake River Canyon. Local Arts and Crafts were well represented by vendors from Wendell, Hagerman, Twin Falls, Buhl, and Jerome. We gathered almost 100 pounds of packaged food for the West End Ministerial Association's Emergency Food Pantry. Thank you to everyone who helped restock the shelves!
We already have ideas for the 2019 Buhl Fly-In, so watch for us.
