Today is Learn to Fly Day across the nation, and three local airports are offering events to send you soaring.
Paine Field Aviation Day begins with the firefighters’ 5K run at 8 a.m., followed by a pancake breakfast at 9 a.m., which is $5 a person.
If you’re reading this too late for pancakes, you can still take part in free activities that continue until 3:30 p.m. at the south ramp near the Flying Heritage Collection: free flights for ages 8 to 17, warbird flyovers, live music, and the Taste of Mukilteo and Kiwanis barbecue. Taste tickets are $1, with a minimum purchase of $5.
Call 425-353-2110, ext. 5, or go to www.wpaflys.org.
