Six Grant County Air
Search pilots gave more than
90 children and parents free
flights at the Grant County
Regional Airport’s annual
Fly-In Saturday in John Day.
There were two to three
passengers per plane enjoying
a bird’s-eye view of the John
Day Valley.
The Fly-In offers flights to
youths in grades 1-12, with
some of the children riding
with a parent.
Airport Manager Haley
Walker was pleased with how
smoothly the event ran.
“The pilots really helped us
get the kids flying and moved
them through,” she said.
“Breakfast was delicious,
thanks to the Squeeze In,” she
added. “All around it was a
great day for flying.”
Pilots volunteering their
time were Doug Ferguson,
Bob Bagett, Barbara Smith,
Robert Watt, Tom Berry and
Frank Stinnett.
Other Grant County Air
Search volunteers assisting
passengers were Kathy Stin-
nett, Gary Gregg, Virginia and
Craige McMillan and Cheryl
Berry.
Berry said the Fly-In has
been held annually since the
1980s, with the exception of
2015, when the Canyon Creek
Complex fire was burning.
