A mix of Harley’s, airplanes and vintage military vehicles land in Arlington this week for the 2007 Arlington Fly-In.
Back again are restored World War I and World War II planes from the Flying Heritage Collection and the Cascade Warbirds.
The 39th annual event includes exhibits and daily air shows.
New this year is an exhibit of vintage military vehicles.
Sound Harley Davidson will unveil Miss Behavin’, a motorcycle dedicated to the courage of the men and women in aviation during World War II.
“People come from all over the U.S.,” Fly-In Director Barbara Tolbert said. “It’s a country fair with a theme all about aviation.”
The Arlington Fly-In is one of the largest air shows of its type, featuring ultralights and home-builts. The convention also features forums and workshops.
Tolbert expects nearly 60,000 visitors at the five-day event, which attracted 1,610 airplanes last year.
“It’s just got a really nice feel and atmosphere to it,” Tolbert said.
