How To Get There And What To Do

It's been called one of the friendliest annual fly-ins in America. The Northwest EAA event at Arlington (WA) gets underway on July 9, with plenty of air show activity, static displays, sponsors and forum activity.

How To Get There -- Flying In

Chart your best course, but keep a few things in mind:

NOTAMs, TFRs and other hazards abound in the Puget Sound area. Check the latest visual update from the FAA or the NWEAA-provided graphic.

You must contact flight service before flying in to Arlington for the event.
