The 5th annual Easton Airport Day was held on Saturday, September 28th at Easton’s Newnam Field. A day with perfect weather brought out aviation enthusiasts of all ages. This free event offers everyone a chance to get up close to aircraft – from vintage planes to the Maryland State Police helicopter, equipped with the most updated technology available. Troopers offers tours and answered questions from an eager crowd.
This year, the event included a 5 K Fun Run and Walk on the runway, a jet pull competition, warbird formation flyovers and the crowd favorite, the rubber chicken drop. In this event, crews fly low to drop a rubber chicken onto a target on a pickup truck. Plane rides were available, and vintage aircraft flew in formation, shooting smoke and zooming overhead.
Proceeds from the event benefit Habitat For Humanity Choptank’s Repair Corps, helping veterans whose homes need critical repairs.
