Published 12:01 am Friday, September 2, 2011
The words “Vintage Aircraft Weekend” should really sum it up for you.
But if you need more details, how about military vehicles, World War II re-enactors, aircraft fly-bys, antique vehicles, a big band dinner dance, history lessons and hands-on demonstrations.
That’s what’s on deck during the Vintage Aircraft Weekend starting today at Paine Field in Mukilteo.
The event kicks off with the big band dinner dance starting at 6 tonight that features the 17-piece Kings of Swing, a Canadian quartet that sings barbershop and teaches a thing or two about swing dancing. A gourmet dinner is also part of the package.
Tickets for the big band dance are $50 per person which includes admission to see the vintage aircraft on Saturday. Only 250 dinner dance tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Order at http://tinyurl.com/3dobbqb.
On Saturday, vintage aircraft events include a presentation by the son of the man who built the Boeing Co., Bill Boeing Jr., who will speak about the Model 40 starting at 9 a.m.
Boeing will share the stage with Addison Pemberton, restorer and pilot of the world’s only flying Boeing Model 40.
Vintage Aircraft Weekend is from 6 to 10 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at 10719 Bernie Webber Drive, Mukilteo.
Festival tickets are $12 adult, $10 senior/military, $8 youth and $25 for maximum per family.
